Thank you, lj. Sometimes I wish we could all let the verbal weapons drop, and just go to Our Father and say “We love You. We want so much to do the right thing. We’ll try to be good from now on, Dad!! Thy will be done.”
I know He is pleased by sincere effort, motivated by love. I don’t know much, but I know that.
The story of the Prodigal Son is my very favorite. Show His unconditional love even for the fallen. Gives me such wonderful firm hope and conviction that all will be well, because His love is more powerful than anything.
