January 6th 2026 – Lost and Found: The Transformative Power of Grace

Leave a reply

Scripture Reading:

“So he got up and went to his father. But while he was still a long way off, his father saw him and was filled with compassion for him; he ran to his son, threw his arms around him and kissed him. The son said to him, ‘Father, I have sinned against heaven and against you. I am no longer worthy to be called your son.’ But the father said to his servants, ‘Quick! Bring the best robe and put it on him. Put a ring on his finger and sandals on his feet. Bring the fattened calf and kill it. Let’s have a feast and celebrate. For this son of mine was dead and is alive again; he was lost and is found.’ So they began to celebrate.” (Luke 15:20-24)

Suggested Reading – Luke 15:11-32

Reflection:

In the parable of the Prodigal Son, we witness a profound journey of loss, redemption, and reconciliation. This story beautifully illustrates the boundless love of the Father and the humbling path of the son.

Imagine the heart of the father as he watches his son leave, filled with a mix of sorrow and hope. His unconditional love remains steadfast, a silent promise that no matter how far his son strays, he will always be welcomed home.

The son’s journey takes him to the depths of despair, squandering his inheritance and experiencing the harsh realities of life. In his lowest moments, he finds clarity. His humility leads him to recognize his mistakes, prompting a return not just to his father, but to a place of healing.

When the son finally approaches home, he prepares a speech, ready to confess his failures. However, the father’s response is not one of anger or judgment, but of overwhelming joy. He runs to embrace his son, clothing him in the finest robe, a symbol of dignity and restoration.

Gratitude and Healing:

This reunion represents a beautiful healing for both. The father’s heart, once heavy with loss, is filled with gratitude—gratitude for the return of his beloved son. It’s a reminder that grace is always available, that forgiveness can heal deep wounds, and that love triumphs over shame.

For the son, humility has led to healing. In acknowledging his shortcomings, he not only finds forgiveness but also reclaims his identity as a beloved child. His return signifies a new beginning, a transformation born from the depths of his experiences.

As you reflect on this parable, consider:

  • In what ways might you be like the Prodigal Son, needing to return to the Father’s embrace?
  • How can you cultivate a heart of gratitude, recognizing the healing power of forgiveness in your life?

This story invites us to celebrate the transformative power of love and the joy of reconciliation, reminding us that no one is beyond the reach of grace.

“In the embrace of grace, the lost find their way home, and the humble discover their true worth.”

Prayer:

Heavenly Father, Thank You for the relentless love You show us, even when we wander far from You. We are grateful for the grace that allows us to return to Your embrace, no matter how lost we may feel. Help us to recognize our shortcomings and to approach You with humility, just as the Prodigal Son did.

As we reflect on our own journeys, may we find the courage to turn back when we stray, trusting in Your open arms and loving heart. Fill us with gratitude for the healing that comes from forgiveness, both for ourselves and those we may struggle to forgive.

Lord, grant us the wisdom to extend compassion to others, mirroring the love and acceptance You have shown us. May our lives be a testament to the transformative power of Your grace, and may we celebrate the joy of reconciliation in our relationships. Help us to remember that, like the father in the parable, we can always welcome others back with love and joy. In Your holy name, we pray. Amen.

August 22nd 2025 – Trusting God With Our Children

Leave a reply

“Start children off on the way they should go, and even when they are old they will not turn from it.” (Proverbs 22:6)

As parents, we often bear the weight of our children’s choices, especially when those choices lead them away from the faith we hold dear. It can be disheartening to see adult children embrace worldly values or distance themselves from us, fearing judgment for their decisions. In these moments of heartache, we must remember God’s promise: He is faithful, and His love knows no bounds.

When our children choose paths that diverge from the teachings of Christ, it can feel like a personal loss. However, we must remind ourselves that God loves them even more than we do. Our role as parents is to love unconditionally and to pray fervently for their return to faith. Just as the Prodigal Son found his way back home, we can trust that our children will also seek the Lord when they are ready.

Every prayer is a seed planted in faith. Trust that God is working in the hearts of your children, even when you cannot see it.

Consider writing a letter to your child expressing your love, your hopes, and your prayers for them. Avoid any mention of judgment; instead, focus on your unconditional love and support. This can be a tangible reminder of your heart for them, one that they can revisit when they are ready.

“Though the path may seem distant, my love and prayers for you my child will always bridge the gap. In faith, I trust that God will guide you home.” (Love, Dad)

Prayer:
Heavenly Father, Today, I come before You with a heavy heart for my children. I feel the distance that has grown between us, and I worry for their souls. I ask for Your divine intervention in their lives. Please soften their hearts and open their eyes to Your truth. Help me to be a light in their darkness, a source of love and hope, rather than judgment.

Grant me patience as I wait for them to come back to You. May I always exhibit Your love in my words and actions, showing them that the door is open for them to return home, both to me and to You. I pray for their salvation, for the day they recognize their need for You and turn away from the world’s distractions.

In Your grace, remind me that my role is to nurture them in prayer and love, trusting in Your perfect timing. I hold on to the promise that they will not stray forever, for You are faithful to fulfill Your promises. In Jesus’ name, Amen.

March 28th 2025 – Come Home to Grace

Leave a reply

“But while he was still a long way off, his father saw him and was filled with compassion for him; he ran to his son, threw his arms around him and kissed him.” (Luke 15:20)

In the parable of the Prodigal Son, we see a beautiful picture of grace. The younger son, having squandered his inheritance on reckless living, finds himself alone and destitute. Yet, in his moment of desperation, he remembers his father’s house—a place where there is love, acceptance, and provision.

How often do we stray from the path God has laid out for us? Life’s temptations can lead us far from home, leaving us feeling lost and unworthy. We may think that we’ve gone too far, that our mistakes have disqualified us from grace. But the good news is that God’s grace is greater than our failures.

As the son made his way back, his father, who had been waiting and watching, didn’t stand with arms crossed, filled with anger or disappointment. Instead, he ran to his son, embracing him with love and forgiveness. This is the heart of our Heavenly Father—always ready to receive us with open arms, no matter how far we’ve wandered.

Take a moment to reflect on your own journey. Are there areas in your life where you feel distant from God? Picture Him waiting for you, ready to welcome you back. Write down any thoughts or feelings that come to mind, and consider how you can take steps to come back to Him. Remember, it’s never too late to come home to grace.

“In every season of life, God’s grace is a constant. No matter our past, we can always start anew. Let us come home to grace, where love reigns, and our hearts find true rest.”

Prayer:

Heavenly Father, thank You for the gift of grace that calls us home. Help us to remember that no matter how far we stray, we can always return to You. May we find solace in Your embrace and reassurance in Your love. Teach us to extend that same grace to others, reflecting Your heart in our interactions. Thank You for always waiting for us with open arms. In Jesus’ name, we pray, Amen.
