God's house rules

Published: March 27, 2022, 10 a.m.

When a wayward child wanders far from home, how does a loving parent continue to pursue them without driving them farther away? When we wander from God, he always keeps his door open for us. Not only that, he lovingly pursues sinners in ways that make them long for home. Today we see how our loving Father will always keep his door open for us. Whether we wander by rebelling against his rules or by resenting his compassion toward others, he will always long for our return. When we do, he will welcome us back, not as servants, but as daughters and sons.
