Luke 15:22 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.
Showing someone how much they mean to you can come in various shapes and sizes, but this demonstration of a father’s love for his son is told many times.
God loves us more than this father loved his son, and yet we, much like the son, run off and do our own things instead of having Christ at the centre of our lives.
If we stay close to God, He will be able to continue looking out for us and taking care of us; but our running away makes things a lot more complicated!
