Desperado

When he came to his senses, he said, ‘How many of my father’s hired servants have food to spare, and here I am starving to death! I will set out and go back to my father and say to him: Father, I have sinned against heaven and against you. I am no longer worthy to be called your son; make me like one of your hired servants.’

– Luke 15:17-19

OK, I admit that the first thing that came to my mind when I read the first 5 words was the Eagles song “Desperado”.

Yeah, I think I just admitted my age there.

The second thing I thought of was the Veggie Tales episode The Ballad of Little Joe.

Yeah, I am a little weird.  

That is the only reason I am looking forward to grandchildren by the way – so I can watch Veggie Tales again.

Seriously, how many of us need to come to our senses and run back to the loving arms our Father?

I find it comforting to know that all I have to do is go to Him and be forgiven.

I am pretty sure that I can relate to the prodigal son.

Can you?

Have a blessed day.
