The Parable of the Prodigal Son (Lk 15: 1-3, 11-32) is about a son who desperately needs the power of forgiveness in his life.
Jesus knows forgiveness is not an easy task, but we struggle living out. Jesus gives the power of forgiveness. We all struggle at one time or another with selfishness and wanting to do things our own way.
We have free will to choose our way, but if we choose our way instead of God’s way, we have to accept the consequences.
No matter how far we have turned from God, no matter what we have gone through, no matter what state we are currently in and no matter what we have done - God forgives us when we return to Him. His love is embracing us, and He is waiting with open arms.
His love is unconditional and always available. He is ready to receive us back. Have our heart changed to forgive those who have wronged us?
Forgiveness starts with love and ends with joy. Forgiveness is the greatest gift that we can receive and the greatest gift that we can give.
“Taste and see the goodness of the Lord,”(Ps 34).
