The son who came back home

A son decided to leave home and wasted everything he had in a very foolish way. After a while, with nothing left and very hungry, he remembered his father and decided to go back home, even though he felt ashamed of what he had done. Do you know what happened? His father, who had been watching and waiting every single day, saw him coming from far away and ran to hug him, full of joy! He didn't even let his son finish saying sorry — he just wanted to celebrate that his son had come back. This story is about God, our Father in heaven. No matter how many times we make mistakes, God is always there with open arms, waiting with love to welcome us back.
