Grace for your spirit
And he said to him, "Your brother has come, and your father has killed the fattened calf, because he has received him back safe and sound." But he became angry, and was not willing to go in; and his father came out and began entreating him. Lk 15:27-18
The prodigal son had been on the "pig pin trail", and now he was home. Everyone was glad except his older brother, "Clipboard Clyde." Clyde had carefully kept track of his work, and brother’s failures. While Clyde was outside, the restored son enjoyed the party. That ends of the story, but what if it went one more day? What would Jesus want the forgiven son to do tomorrow? Jesus taught, "Forgive us our trespasses, as we forgive those who trespass against us." The forgiven and restored younger brother is the only person who can reach out to his brother. His personal expression of love and forgiveness can bring both brothers home. Don’t wait for Clyde to call. The call is ours.
The grace of the Lord Jesus Christ be with your spirit
Philippians 4:23
