Come home and I’ll throw the biggest party heaven has ever seen.
Luke 15:7
I tell you that even so there will be more joy in heaven over one sinner who repents, than over ninety-nine righteous people who need no repentance. (WEB)
In the story of the prodigal son recorded in Luke 15, the returning son expected harsh judgment but received a party instead! Time and time again the Father surprises us with His offer to celebrate over a lost one’s return to His house.
Father God loves throwing parties for His kids, for each party represents an orphan or prodigal who has found his way back into His heart. The heart of the Father is rich in mercy and grace, and He is wooing His wayward children to come home to join in the party!
PRAYER
Father, how marvelous it is that You love to celebrate when a lost child comes home. I was once a lost child, but You cared enough to throw me a party upon my return home. Help me to feel Your heart for each prodigal who returns home so that I can join in their party. Amen.
