A son in his father embrace
Crying: “I was so foolish, will you forgive me please?
Could I just be one of your servants?”
Let’s go back in the story
Father watching his son’s back, heartbroken
Waiting day by day for his son’s return
Days turning into moths turning into years flying by
Wondering whether he would see his son again
The son’s been through self-inflicted hell
Running away and mocking his Father
Wasting his money for things that can’t satisfy
Hitting the rock bottom, desperation suffocating him
Finally coming to his senses, deciding to come back
Though not having a reason to expect his Father’s forgiveness
The only prospects of being shamed, mocked and
Serving in a place he was supposed to co-own one day
Yet he is met by Father discarding his dignity
Running towards him, holding him in his arms
Repeating out of breath: “Son, you’ve come home, you’ve come home…”
Father finally able to utter something else
Calling his servants to bring a robe, sandals and ring
Completely restoring son to his former place
What a shocking twist in the story!
That’s the ultimate love of the Father
