17.”And when he came to himself, he said, How many hired servants of my father's have bread enough and to spare, and I perish with hunger!
18.I will arise and go to my father, and will say unto him, Father, I have sinned against heaven, and before thee,
19.And am no more worthy to be called thy son: make me as one of thy hired servants.
20.And he arose, and came to his father. But when he was yet a great way off, his father saw him, and had compassion, and ran, and fell on his neck, and kissed him.
21.And the son said unto him, Father, I have sinned against heaven, and in thy sight, and am no more worthy to be called thy son.
22.But the father said to his servants, Bring forth the best robe, and put it on him; and put a ring on his hand, and shoes on his feet:
23.And bring hither the fatted calf, and kill it; and let us eat, and be merry:
24.For this my son was dead, and is alive again; he was lost, and is found. And they began to be merry. ... “

The Bible is filled with men that wanted to be their own God.
The Father tells us what to do ... bless and curse not, seek and ye shall find, knock and it will be opened to you, believe and it will be given to you,Come to the LORD thou God in prayer...
from beginning to end “He is calling” us to Him. Do you hear Him? His promises are GREAT. Do You Know them?
Thank you, Mayor for this beautiful, touching devotion.
