#Lent #Prodigal Son
Today, this story can serve to remind us that there will be times that we, as people of faith, sense ourselves being pulled away from God. We may even get to the point where our faith is like the dew on the morning grass that evaporates under the heat of the sun. Our hope becomes overshadowed by despair. Our freedom to love God, and our capacity to love others seems to diminish.
If we find ourselves in that space , the good news is that in our time of need, just like the prodigal son, we can look back and reflect on our actual experiences with our Heavenly Father. Those experiences that gave us great comfort, and assurance. During those reflections we can encounter the God given freedom that allows our hearts and minds to return to our Father who created us and awaits our homecoming.
The parable of the prodigal son, articulates explores themes of repentance, forgiveness, and the unconditional love of God.
