The Bible tells of a prodigal son who, as a young man, took his share of the family fortune and left his father’s house.  He soon squandered all of his money on riotous living and fell upon exceedingly hard times.

We are told that his life changed as “he came to himself.”  Even in a time of hunger and thirst, he began to recognize his own true identity.   In the midst of despair, he remembered where his true home was.  For then, he knew within himself what his heritage was and where he was meant to be.  His life changed when his sense of identification changed.

As we come to know our real, true identity, our lives will also be transformed.  We have always been the beloved children of God.  We need only to have this understanding come to us from within to claim that heritage and live accordingly.  As we turn our attention to our Father’s kingdom, we are met more than halfway with His Love and tender mercy.
 
It is Our Father’s good pleasure to share with us all that is in His kingdom.  We have only to come to the realization of His Infinite Love to return to His house and abide there.
