The son said, “Father, I have sinned against God in heaven and against you. I am no longer good enough to be called your son.”
But his father said to the servants, “Hurry and bring the best clothes and put them on him. Give him a ring for his finger and sandals for his feet. ~ Luke 15:21-22 (CEV)
KEY IDEA:
God's forgiveness gives us a fresh start.PRAYER:
God, I'm grateful for your mercy and forgiveness. I'm thankful that you give us a fresh start. I admit that I am too often satisfied with the forgiveness and too lazy to act on the fresh start. It's so easy to wear the old and comfortable clothes. Have mercy on me a reluctant convert. Starting now I'm going to take full advantage of the clean clothes and fresh start you are offering. Amen.
