And he arose and came to his father. But when he was still a great way off, his father saw him and had compassion, and ran and fell on his neck and kissed him. Luke 15:20
How did that father see the prodigal so far off? He was looking for him of course! I see all those who believe in Jesus as prodigals on the way home to our father. We have spent our time in sin, living for ourselves and our pleasure, and now we each journey toward home and the Father. At some point in life we hit bottom in some fashion and looked back toward our heavenly Father and the home promised by His Son. The Father, though letting us go our way and indulge in all manner of sin, also had His eye on us all that time. The Father waited expectantly for that day we would turn around and come home to Him.
If you have not begun that journey yet, look up, repent, and start on the way home. Jesus opened the way for every prodigal to come home to His Abba.
