“Watch the Daddy”
When people read the story of the prodigal son, the spotlight usually falls on the son—his rebellion, his fall, and his return. But today, let’s watch the daddy.
The father let his son go, because love gives freedom. He waited, because love is patient. He ran, because love moves faster than shame. He restored it, because love doesn’t keep you at servant status. And he reminded the older brother that love never runs out.
Now here’s something to think about: real daddies don’t usually run—they wait. Time teaches patience, but patience is something many have not yet developed. Young people often want things in an instant, but a real father knows that some lessons can only be learned with time.
This story isn’t just about a wayward son—it’s about a loving Father. No matter how far you’ve gone or how broken you feel, your heavenly Father is watching, waiting, and ready to run toward you with open arms.
Don't miss the message trying to figure out the Messenger. You guys better stay with me. I'm going somewhere with these inspirations. Have a terrific Tuesday. Let's go!
