the reason for the prodigal’s parable.


not having cracked open a Bible in a year other than to do my greek homework in the ancient text used to make me feel awful.

but i’ve learned that even if you step back from him for a little while, or a long while, you always find your way back.

and its usually much better than when you left it. because this time, he has allowed or even encouraged time away for you to really consider. to really wonder who He is and to discover that your soul faints to be in his presence. and that when you do come back, He will always accept you.
