The Merciful Father

Nikki, great thoughts on "being" rather than "doing". Let's keep those comments challenging us.

Hopefully, by taking a look at the parable of the prodigal son this morning highlights for us that no matter what we are "doing" or have "done" we simply "are" God's children. We are His forgiven, loved, sought after offspring. The story really isn't about the prodigal son, but the Merciful Father and his capacity for love and forgiveness.

Two thoughts.....
One, how does this love and forgiveness change us as we go through our week?
Two, how might we as Christians in our own lives, within our own families, and through our own experiences be able to pass on the traits of the merciful father?

What a blessing to be one of God's own, and what a blessing to have His presence and everyone's energy in worship this morning.
