Last night AO1 wanted to read the story of the prodigal son. Since I'd been mulling over the chaos at Big Buddy's, the disparity between him and the Father of heaven really struck me.
First, how hard it would be to receive a son back who had been so foolish, ungrateful and lazy- all his life! Second, how extremely loving, gracious, generous and kind the Father is toward us who screw up all the time, then come home with our tail tucked between our legs, hoping we won't get a beating and are surprised to find that once again the Father comes running to us in love and forgiveness.
