Then bring the fattened calf and slaughter it, and let’s celebrate with a feast,
Luke 15:23 HCSB
One who had turned his back on the truth has returned humbled. There is no greater cause for celebration! Yes, we rejoice in those who have stayed and been faithful. But those who are genuinely faithful will, like the Father, always rejoice in the return of a stray sheep to the fold.
Heavenly Father, thank You for Jesus! Thank You for His constant intercession for us. Never will I lose the wonder of that. The Precious Son is interested in His people, and will use them for His purposes. He appeals to You on our behalf. Oh wonder of wonders! By this very fact alone my life becomes meaningful. Purpose, peace, joy, and power flow from the process that You have created. The Spirit works in my heart as the Son patitions on my behalf. Thank You! In the Name of the Lord Jesus Christ I pray and praise You, Amen.
