The Son

When we find ourselves in the midst of sin, when we find ourselves going against what the word of God has to say; when we find ourselves in a season of discontent; we are going to do exactly what we want to do according to how it's going to make us feel at any given moment. That's a problem! We get absorbed in the moment and don't look out for what's in the distance!

In the parable of the Prodigal Son, the younger son was selfish, entitled, and discontent. He demanded his inheritance from his father, left home, and spent everything he had on selfish things. Upon reaching his rock bottom, he endured humiliation and lost his social status. But it was through these trials and experiences that he realized he had sinned against his father and he wanted to come home.

Is this not the great revelation we have as someone who is walking around, lost? We come to our spiritual senses and realize that we have sinned against our heavenly father!
