The story of the prodigal son is a picture of God's love for us as His children. God's love for us does not depend on our faithfulness; it is unconditional. The prodigal son, or lost son, was an abuser of grace. Grace is most often defined as unmerited or unearned favor. He had a loving father, a good home, provision, a future, and an inheritance, but he traded it all in for temporal pleasures. We are the prodigal son. While the Father could of pointed out his faults "sin", or judged him, he celebrated his son. If you ever need a clear picture of God's grace look at the life of this Father. 

The son thought he had it all figured out, but when he came to himself  he realize he had it better off at his Father's house. No matter how far you have walked away from God, he still sees you as his son's and daughters. The only way we can see grace for what it is we have to come to an end of ourselves, and when we.do that we can see the Father in a clearer light.

Have you figured it out yet?
