Waiting with an Expectant Heart

Luke 15:20 (NIV)

"But while he was still a long way off, his father saw him and was filled with compassion for him; he ran to his son, threw his arms around him and kissed him." ❤️‍🕊️

Explanation:

The father in the story of the prodigal son wasn’t passive. His heart longed for his son’s return, and he kept watching the road. When his son came back, the father ran — an act of love and eager acceptance. This is a picture of God’s heart: patient, hopeful, always ready to forgive and embrace the returning sinner. 🙏✨

Application:

Do you have loved ones or friends who are spiritually lost? Waiting can be painful, but it can also be filled with hope. Instead of giving up, keep praying 🙏, watching 👀, and preparing your heart 💖 to welcome them with open arms — just like the Father does. 🤗

Reflection Questions:

• Who are you waiting for to return to God? ⏳
• How can you show a heart of grace even before they come back? 💌
• What will you do today to strengthen your hope and patience? 🌱
