Luke 15:20 NASB "So he set out and came to his father. But when he was still a long way off, his father saw him and felt compassion for him, and ran and embraced him and kissed him."There were times when today's verse came to life for me, that my dad felt compassion for me and embraced me for I had gone off the path of being a good son! Looking back at our lives can bring some memories of trying times, struggles, pain but they can also bring moments of a second chance, a new opportunity to start again, a fresh beginning like never before. Admitting our failures, our sin, our faults can bring forgiveness, and compassion from those we hurt along the way but we must never forget to ask for forgiveness from God. He is waiting patiently for us to "come clean" and start fresh. Don't let our memories of the things we did wrong cloud the opportunity to be refreshed. Be encouraged that we have a God who loves us and will forgive us when we come clean with our sin. peace, tom
