In one of the most familiar stories Jesus ever told, the prodigal son in Luke 15, we often miss that both sons were lost—one ran away, the other stayed close but let pride keep him distant. In this powerful message from Annie F. Downs, we’re reminded that no matter how far you’ve gone, you’re never too far to come home. Whether you’ve made a series of small compromises that led to a place you never meant to be, or you’re sitting in judgment with crossed arms and a closed heart, the Father is on the porch—looking, waiting, running toward you. There’s no better place to be than close to the Father.
