Prodigal, Come Home!

And He said, “A man had two sons. The younger of them said to his father, ‘Father, give me the share of the estate that falls to me.’ So he divided his wealth between them, and not many days later, the younger son gathered everything together and went on a journey into a distant country, and there he squandered his estate with loose living. Now when he had spent everything, a severe famine occurred in that country, and he began to be impoverished. So he went and hired himself out to one of the citizens of that country, and he sent him into his fields to feed swine. And he would have gladly filled his stomach with the pods that the swine were eating, and no one was giving anything to him. But when he came to his senses, he said, ‘How many of my father’s hired men have more than enough bread, but I am dying here with hunger! I will get up and go to my father, and will say to him, “Father, I have sinned against heaven, and in your sight. I am no longer worthy to be called your son; make me as one of your hired men.”’ So he got up and came to his father. But while he was still a long way off, his father saw him and felt compassion for him, and ran and embraced him and kissed him. And the son said to him, ‘Father, I have sinned against heaven and in your sight; I am no longer worthy to be called your son.’ But the father said to his slaves, ‘Quickly bring out the best robe and put it on him, and put a ring on his hand and sandals on his feet and bring the fattened calf, kill it, and let us eat and celebrate for this son of mine was dead and has come to life again; he was lost and has been found.’ And they began to celebrate." (Luke 15:11-32).

Have you wandered away from your Father? Do you hear Him calling your name? If you do, it is time to get rid of the grey area's in your life and come back home! He misses you and wants you to be in right standing with Him because He is about to send His Son, Jesus, to bring His faithful children back home, to heaven! If you believe in Jesus, He's already died for ALL of your sins! And it's His blood, that flowed from a Roman cross, that makes us white as snow!  

If you don't believe in hell, you really should. Whether you believe in it or not, there is such a thing as "eternal life," and you're going to spend it somewhere. You can spend it in heaven, or you can spend it in hell, where there will be "weeping, wailing and gnashing of teeth." The choice of where you will go when you die, is completely up to you. There is nothing you've done, no matter how bad it is, that God will not forgive! Don't let the devil tell you lies! He only does that to keep you right where he wants you. In his evil clutches!

Please come home? Jesus is waiting for you. He's willing to forgive you! And trust me, no matter what type of sin it is that you've committed, "If we confess our sins, He is faithful and just to forgive us our sins, and cleanse us from all unrighteousness." (1 John 1:9)

Believe me, God has something so much better for you! It's already all lined up for you! He's just waiting on you to ask His forgiveness so He can forgive you! The story of the Prodigal is all about us! We all need Jesus, especially when we think we don't!

So stop running! It's time to come home prodigal! It's time to come home!
