And the son said to him, “Father, I have sinned against heaven and in your sight, and am no longer worthy to be called your son.: Luke 15:21

 Jesus told the story of the Lost Son, who wanted his freedom to indulge in worldly pleasures and asked for his inheritance, which his father obliged. The son went and spent all his money on wild living, brought shame to his family’s name, and eventually found himself out of money and no where to live. He finally came to his senses and returned home, seeking forgiveness from his father. As the story goes, his father not only forgave him, but celebrated his son’s return. Luke 15:11-32

 Maybe you’ve found yourself in a similar situation, you wanted freedom to enjoy worldly pleasures, knowing it was against God’s will. Eventually, like the son, you came to your senses to realize it was nothing but a temporary pleasure that has left you high and dry. You ask yourself; will God really forgive me? From the lips of Jesus Christ, this story of the lost son is proof of God’s willingness to forgive you. His love goes much further than your short term back-sliding. Heaven rejoices when one of God’s children returns, in repentance of sins, and rejoins his spiritual family. I can assure you, there aren’t many people today who have the amount of grace and mercy your Heavenly Father has for you.

 Don’t let your past, or current situation, discourage you from rejoining the family of God. His forgiveness is free to anyone who comes back to the fold. Seek after His forgiveness and experience the love and restoration that your Father in Heaven wishes to grant you! God bless
