When Heaven Rejoices

Reading from Luke 15 this morning I read about a man who had two sons.  One thought he could do better on his own so he asked his father to give him his inheritance.  His father granted his request so he left home to earn his fortune.

He wound up in a strange land with no money.  He ate hog food to keep from starving.  Then he realized his father had servants that ate good food daily.

So he decided to return home.  His father saw him coming and ran to greet him.  He welcomed his son with hugs and kisses.  The other son heard of this and was angry.

The father said to him, "this my son was dead and now alive, I have much to rejoice over.

That's the way our Heavenly Father is toward us.  When we return to him the angels dance with joy.

Our Heavenly Father loves us and longs for our return.  Come back home.
