There are not many stories any better than the one of the Prodigal Son. This is a great picture of God's love for us, no matter how much we have made a mess of things. He searches for us, runs towards us, and brings us home. We don't deserve any of it at all, but that's exactly the point. God is full of grace and mercy, and His love cannot help but to run towards us.His father saw him and was filled with compassion for him; he ran to his son, threw his arms around him and kissed him.Luke…

Luke 15:18 . . .“Father, I have sinned against heaven and against you. 19 I am no longer worthy of being called your son. Make me as one of your hired men.”’ 20 So he rose and went to his father. While he was yet a long way off, his father caught sight of him and was moved with pity, and he ran and fell upon his neck and tenderly kissed him.

Everyone who knows the Bible, knows people, or knows his own heart, knows this to be true: sin makes us stupid.
