Have you ever felt far from God, wondering if He would take you back? The parable of the prodigal son is a powerful reminder that God is always ready to forgive and restore. The younger son chose rebellion, wasted everything, and hit rock bottom, but when he came to himself, he returned home to find a father running to meet him with open arms.

This isn’t a story of salvation but reconciliation, proving that no matter how far we wander, we can always return. We see that sin separates us, but repentance restores us.

The father’s love mirrors God’s grace. The father didn’t just take his son back—he gave him a robe, a ring, and shoes, signifying full restoration.

If you’ve drifted from God, He’s not waiting to punish you—He’s waiting to embrace you.
