Come
with me for a moment and visualize the scene of a wayward son returning home. Imagine
the joy his father feels when he sees his strong-willed son walking toward the
house and wondering what kind of reception awaits him. This father had permitted
his immature son to leave home with his inheritance and dreams that would result
in abysmal failure.
After talking with his son, the father
detected a radical change in his son's attitude that inspired him to shout with
joy, "This son of mine was dead and is alive. He was lost and is found." A man
separated from his wife said he was willing to work toward reconciliation when he
detected in his wife something that gave him hope for a new beginning.
Everyone is capable of dying
emotionally to another person or even God when joy no longer exists in a
relationship. If this is your situation, the Lord Jesus Christ is waiting and
watching for your return. Jesus will eagerly receive you back as a faithful son
or daughter and restore the joy of your salvation.
