puricare chronicles: WHEN GOD WAITS AND WHEN HE CHASES - Some people know about God's love -- like the prodigal knew about his father's love, but they turn away - God may not chase after them physically, but He will never forget them and will eagerly wait for their return - When the prodigal son returns home, his father runs eagerly to embrace him. This is the third of three parables in Luke 15 that reveal God's heart for the lost. In the first two parables, the shepherd and woman won't rest until they find the lost sheep and coin. But in this third parable, the father doesn't chase after his son. I think these parables shows two aspects of God's character. God's business (and ours) is to diligently seek the lost (Luke 19:10). We shouldn't rest until all nations have heard the Truth (Mark 13:10). Because all who seek Him will find Him (Jeremiah 29:13). Some people know about God's love -- like the prodigal knew about his father's love, but they turn away. God may not chase after them physically, but He will never forget them and will eagerly wait for their return. Are you waiting for someone to "return home"? So is God.

Jesus' Parable of the Prodigal Son | Life of Jesus

When the prodigal son returns home, his father runs eagerly to embrace him.

This is the third of three parables in Luke 15 that reveal God's heart for the lost.

In the first two parables, the shepherd and woman won't rest until they find the lost sheep and coin.

But in this third parable, the father doesn't chase after his son.

Do you know why the Father didn't chase his Prodigal son? It's an illustration of God's actions toward His prodigals. This 1-minute devotion explains. #BibleLoveNotes #Bible #Devotions

I think these parables shows two aspects of God's character.

1. God's business (and ours) is to diligently seek the lost (Luke 19:10).

We shouldn't rest until all nations have heard the Truth (Mark 13:10).

Because all who seek Him will find Him (Jeremiah 29:13).

2. Some people know about God's love -- like the prodigal knew about his father's love, but they turn away.

Hi! I'm Gail Burton Purath. I started Bible Love Notes to give people a minute of Scriptural encouragement in their busy day.

I don't have all the answers, but

since I asked Christ to be my Lord and Savior in 1974, I've been learning from the One Who has all the answers!
I'm still a sinner, a learner, a student who falls down and disappoints God at times. But it's my desire to grow closer to the Lord, day by day, minute by minute.

I need to be challenged, encouraged, corrected and comforted, and I think you do as well...so let's learn together about the love of God--a love that is so vast that we will always be discovering new and wonderful things about it.
