Bible Reading: Luke 15:11-24 (KJV)
11And he said, A certain man had two sons:
13And not many days after the younger son gathered all together, and took his journey into a far country, and there wasted his substance with riotous living.
14And when he had spent all, there arose a mighty famine in that land; and he began to be in want.
16And he would fain have filled his belly with the husks that the swine did eat: and no man gave unto him.
17And when he came to himself, he said, How many hired servants of my father’s have bread enough and to spare, and I perish with hunger!
18I will arise and go to my father, and will say unto him, Father, I have sinned against heaven, and before thee,
19And am no more worthy to be called thy son: make me as one of thy hired servants.
20And he arose, and came to his father. But when he was yet a great way off, his father saw him, and had compassion, and ran, and fell on his neck, and kissed him.
21And the son said unto him, Father, I have sinned against heaven, and in thy sight, and am no more worthy to be called thy son.
22But the father said to his servants, Bring forth the best robe, and put it on him; and put a ring on his hand, and shoes on his feet:
23And bring hither the fatted calf, and kill it; and let us eat, and be merry:
24For this my son was dead, and is alive again; he was lost, and is found. And they began to be merry.
KEY VERSE: “And he arose, and came to his father. But when he was yet a great way off, his father saw him, and had compassion, and ran, and fell on his neck, and kissed him.” Luke 15:20
Message
Mother hen had ten beautiful chicks. She would always lead them to a safe place while she goes to scavenge for food to feed her chicks. Her wings also were always opened to shelter those chicks. Whenever mother hen heard the sound of an approaching hawk, she will make a sound to call her chicks to the place of safety under her wings. One sunny day, one of the chicks left the comfort of the mother’s wings to run after a tiny worm. The mother called but she did not answer. Suddenly the hawk descended and picked the wondering chick.
The mother hen cried out, miraculously, the chick fell out of the beak of the hawk to the ground. She stood up quickly and ran under her mother’s wings with a limping leg. This is the story of the prodigal child who thinks he is of age and left his father’s love and care to a far country. Mercifully, he realized his error before it was too late. Are you a prodigal child? Jesus is calling you to come back to Him. He will receive you and save your soul
PRAYER FOR TODAY
Lord, I surrender all unto You.

4. Invite Jesus into your life through prayer of faith. Jesus says, "Behold, I stand at the door, and knock: if any man hear my voice, and open the door, I will come in to him, and will sup with him, and he with me" (Revelation 3:20)
