Not many days later, the younger son gathered all he had and took a journey into a far country, and there he squandered his property in reckless living.Luke 15:13 (ESV)
And he arose and came to his father. But while he was still a long way off, his father saw him and felt compassion, and ran and embraced him and kissed him.Luke 15:20 (ESV)
Today’s scripture shows us that love is patient and kind. It perseveres and keeps no record of all offence.
It’s a good reminder for us that we are to live out that quality of love towards one another especially those in need of guidance and tutoring. Let our attitude towards those younger than us be like that towards children of our own, because we have become spiritual parents to them in the house of God.
Father, thank You for showing us Your heart of love that never wavers regardless of our behaviour. We love you. Empower us to put forth Your love in our words and deeds that may lead people to repentance towards You. In Jesus’ name we pray, Amen.
