Written by “He arose and came to his father. But while he was still far off, his father saw him and was moved with compassion, and ran, fell on his neck, and kissed him.
In the Gospel of Luke verse 15:20, we see the heart of God being revealed through the father who runs to his returning son.

No matter how far someone has wandered, God is always watching, waiting, and ready to welcome them home. It’s a powerful picture of redemption, second chances, and the overwhelming mercy found in God’s presence.
