With joy and gratitude, I embrace all of God’s good.
The
Gospel of Luke tells the story of a father who willingly divides his
property between his two sons. After wasting his inheritance and then
experiencing extreme poverty, the younger son returns to his father’s
home humbled. When the young man declares his unworthiness to be called
“son,” his father responds by giving him gifts and celebrating his
homecoming. Surely this young man experienced grace! Like the Prodigal Son, I may feel unworthy. Feelings of
unforgiveness, such as the older brother felt, may also block the flow
of good in my life. As I recognize and release these thoughts and
feelings, I open my entire being to God’s grace. With joy and gratitude, I embrace all of God’s good.
Then the father said to him, “Son, you are always with me, and all that is mine is yours.”—Luke 15:31
