Have you ever truly meditated on the story of the LOVING FATHER?
You may know it as the story of the "prodigal." It actually IS all about what the Father did and very little to do with the son. The only thing the son did was DECIDE to come home! This is about complete GRACE, unmerited favor!
Here is the scripture;
Luke 15:
11 Jesus continued: “There was a man who had two sons. 12 The younger one said to his father, ‘Father, give me my share of the estate.’ So he divided his property between them.
13 “Not long after that, the younger son got together all he had, set off for a distant country and there squandered his wealth in wild living. 14 After he had spent everything, there was a severe famine in that whole country, and he began to be in need. 15 So he went and hired himself out to a citizen of that country, who sent him to his fields to feed pigs. 16 He longed to fill his stomach with the pods that the pigs were eating, but no one gave him anything.
17 “When he came to his senses, he said, ‘How many of my father’s hired servants have food to spare, and here I am starving to death! 18 I will set out and go back to my father and say to him: Father, I have sinned against heaven and against you. 19 I am no longer worthy to be called your son; make me like one of your hired servants.’ 20 So he got up and went to his father.
“But while he was still a long way off, his father saw him and was filled with compassion for him; he ran to his son, threw his arms around him and kissed him.
21 “The son said to him, ‘Father, I have sinned against heaven and against you. I am no longer worthy to be called your son.’
22 “But the father said to his servants, ‘Quick! Bring the best robe and put it on him. Put a ring on his finger and sandals on his feet. 23 Bring the fattened calf and kill it. Let’s have a feast and celebrate. 24 For this son of mine was dead and is alive again; he was lost and is found.’ So they began to celebrate.
This is so significant. Why? This is exactly what Yeshua has done for us.
First of all , the Father(Abba) beckons to us to come into His house, just as the Father in the story.
The Father seats you in His house in heavenly places with Yeshua. He has put a ring(covenant) on your finger, and your feet are shod with the gospel of peace. There is a celebration in heaven over every person who asks for the blood covering. The feast is the communion we have with the Father because of Yeshua now and in the future eternally.
This IS our inheritance now in the Lord. It is immediate! You do not have to DO anything(works). No, He did it all for you just because you made the decision to come back home. Where ever you are, the Father will run out to meet you!
He is in love with you.
