Bring the Finest Robe! - Margo Holmes - Bog

Teaching your child the compassion of God This popular parable about the prodigal son begins with the younger son's request to receive his inheritance before his father dies. He then journeys to a far land and wastes it all on sinful living. Finally, starving and desperate, he remembers the goodness of his father. Repenting of his foolishness, he returns home. The father who never stopped loving his son, runs to meet him, then embraces and kisses him. This story reveals that no matter how lost we may become or how far we may travel from God, He is filled with compassion. His arms are always wide open, ready to receive us and to restore us to our rightful place with Him.
