Wednesday - 6/13 - Read Luke 15:11-24
Can you imagine how nervous the prodigal son must have been as he made the long journey back home to seek his dad's forgiveness?
I wonder how many times he had rehearsed some kind of speech to recite to his father.
Yet, he never had an opportunity to share that speech.
What do you think went through this son's mind as he saw his dad running up to him and then felt his dad's arms wrapping themselves around him?
What does this tell us about his dad's heart? He was accepted, in spite of how wrong he had been.
Do your children feel your acceptance in spite of decisions they make--good or bad?
Did this acceptance of this son mean that his dad accepted the sons rebellion and condone the kind of decision he had made?
How can dads communicate acceptance without condoning bad decisions and rebellion?
Read James 2:14-26 for next Sunday
