My dear friends,
We must encourage one another with the scriptures below Luke 15:10-32.
When we repent we must both humbly and sorrowfully come before Yahweh and tell HIM how sorry we are for having sinned against HIM and our neighbor. We know by HIS spoken words we are forgiven when we come before HIM confessing our sins.
My friends, we are going to stumble and sometimes fall but we must trust in Yahweh , that he will never leave us not forsake us.
The parable of the prodigal son that Yahshua spoke of. The youngest of two sons left home and took all his treasure and spent it on un-godly things. One day while in thought he realized how sinful he had been. He felt he was no longer deserving to be called his father's son. He felt un-worthy and needed to tell his father.
What he didn't expect was the love his father showed him when he returned home. The father was not interested in where his son had been or what he had done. The father rejoiced because the son came home.
This is true of our heavenly Father. HE rejoices when we come home. HE wants us to be with HIM for all eternity. HE does not want us to be separated from HIM. To be of the world is to be absent from HIM. Yahweh wants us to feel HIS love for us.
My friend, will you choose to come home, and repent?
Luke 15:10-32
10Likewise, I say unto you, there is joy in the presence of the angels of God over one sinner that repenteth.
11And he said, A certain man had two sons:
12And the younger of them said to his father, Father, give me the portion of goods that falleth to me. And he divided unto them his living.
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.
15And he went and joined himself to a citizen of that country; and he sent him into his fields to feed swine.
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.
25Now his elder son was in the field: and as he came and drew nigh to the house, he heard musick and dancing.
26And he called one of the servants, and asked what these things meant.
27And he said unto him, Thy brother is come; and thy father hath killed the fatted calf, because he hath received him safe and sound.
28And he was angry, and would not go in: therefore came his father out, and intreated him.
29And he answering said to his father, Lo, these many years do I serve thee, neither transgressed I at any time thy commandment: and yet thou never gavest me a kid, that I might make merry with my friends:
30But as soon as this thy son was come, which hath devoured thy living with harlots, thou hast killed for him the fatted calf.
31And he said unto him, Son, thou art ever with me, and all that I have is thine.
32It was meet that we should make merry, and be glad: for this thy brother was dead, and is alive again; and was lost, and is found.
