A morning thought

I was listening this morning to a teaching by Alistair Begg on the prodigal son – a favorite story by a favorite story teller.  In talking about the prodigal’s return and the father's warm welcoming home he describes the father’s embrace and said “when you squeeze Him compassion comes out because He is full of compassion”.  I just love that image of pressing into the Father and being enveloped by His compassion.  No “I told you so” or “you should have”s just the Father’s  embrace.  What amazing love and what amazing joy to be His child.
