We studied the parable of the prodigal son, and I am still touched by one passage: 20So he got up and went to his father. "But while he was still a long way off, his father saw him and was filled with compassion for him; he ran to his son, threw his arms around him and kissed him. While he was still a long way off, his father saw him. That's how I see God now - my Father in heavan who, despite my rebellion against him, despite my sin, would stand at the end of His driveway *every day* to watch out for me - and would see me even when I was a long way off. And as He saw me trying to approach Him, He ran to me and embraced me. And I told him: 'Father, I have sinned against heaven and against you. I am no longer worthy to be called your son. And yet despite this truth He has bestowed upon me more blessings and more peace and more revelation this past week than I might dare count: "But the father said to his servants, 'Quick! Bring the best robe and put it on him. Put a ring on his finger and sandals on his feet. 23Bring the fattened calf and kill it. Let's have a feast and celebrate. 24For this son of mine was dead and is alive again; he was lost and is found.' So they began to celebrate. My message to the people on these boards, praise Him today in prayer and in worship for bringing me back to life! Give thanks to the Lord for He is good, His love endures forever. Blessings all Nik How beautiful and moving, Nik! I agree!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest yod Posted October 19, 2005 Share Posted October 19, 2005 ScientificDisciple......ScientificServant Prefer the former - I've always hated the fact that my initials were "SA" (or "Sturm Abteilung", the gymnastic wing to the Nazi Party) - I don't want that to change to SS (the Nazi Secret Police, if anything, worse than the SA). traveller, Thanks dude - that means a whole lot to me! I didn't know people cared all that much - it's *just* me! All the best, Nik I feel the same way, Nik, but I halfway expected it that's why I never argued with you.

No kidding, I was crying out, "NO WAY!! NO FREAKIN' WAY!!!!!!" "No, no - this had better not be a joke. No way! No way!"" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nik, it's just a name brother. What really maters is that you now have a circumcised heart. I am really anxious to read your testimony. I am always amazed at what draws people to Jesus Christ. Each and every testimony is unique but ALL have one common theme. God's love is so strong that HE reaches down and takes us into HIS embrace. ALL we have to do is believe HIM. I cannot imagine my life without HIM. Nik, for the record... I loved you before and I love ya' now brother. May the Lord Bless you richly, Wayne Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
