It's is the real good news of the love of God that rescues from our skewed self analysis and opinion and declares we are truely His sons and daughters..
I have been a prodigal. I felt the agony of not knowing that anyone could or would love me the way I wanted. Even more, I think, I wasn’t quite sure what that love looks like. The Holy Spirit used the experiences through which I’d come and Malcolm and “spoke”. God had brought through those experiences. Through all of my darkness, twisted understanding, fear and lies of religion He brought and sometimes carried me. I knew, at last, that there was, Is and always will Be True, Pure, Perfect Unselfish, Unconditional LOVE and GOODNESS. This IS the ONE GOD WHO IS LOVE and GOODNESS, God the Father, God the Son, Jesus Christ, and God the Holy Spirit. So HE IS!!!
Matthew 7 13 says the road to heaven is DIFFICULT , he makes it sound so easy n wonderful but this verse says otherwise, to be I see it's about striving, working and constant obeying because to me that's difficult, how can it be so easy if it's says it's difficult? I'm not trying to ruffle feathers I'm just confused
It WAS difficult for the religious leaders who were STUCK in the mindset that the ONLY way to God was by rule keeping. Remember Jesus wasn’t speaking to us in Matthew 7, He was speaking to a 1st century audience steeped in Old Covenant Law. So the ‘narrow way’ was believing as Jesus believed/believes. Totally anathema to His listeners THEN at THAT time. They could not accept that they were found IN CHRIST BEFORE they were lost in Adam therefore they resorted to performance based religion.The prodigal son parable was an insult to their religious minds. How could the Father accept that rebel ? Yet, Jesus showed God has never based His acceptance of us based on our behavior. Nothing, and I mean NOTHING can separate us from Him or His Love.
I love that: he didn't repent, he was hungry.
When he remembers his origin, his Dad, he is generous.
Excellent. So life giving to hear the undiluted gospel.
I love to hug and feel all their stress and fear melt away 💕
Miel para mis oídos estos mensajes sobre el Amor del padre

Wow I've never seen Genesis to revelation summed up in this Parable before I guess it's true once you see it you can't unsee it😳
