The Lord is saying: I Am here, and I Am with you. As you walk with Me, and I with you, there is a special bond between us. This is more than just a parent/child relationship, for I Am the Ultimate Parent and you are My precious child, and there is nothing in the universe that is as special as this. You have earthly parents, which are on a path in the earth just as you are, and they have cared for you to bring you to maturity. Yes, some have not been good parents, and this has jaded your hearts, and this is something that we have had to work through, but I will never forsake you. Those of you who realize this walk with Me in joy and peace, while those who are still hurt in their hearts are having difficulties surrendering to My love. No matter where you are on your journey with Me, I want you to understand that I love you unconditionally and forever! Because I love you, I will not leave you in your unfinished state, which is why I discipline you, for I cannot let one of My precious ones be stuck in worldly ways for long, as I desire you to worship Me as Lord that you may truly be the child of the King of kings, and Lord of lords. Once you have surrendered your lives to Me, then I have the freedom to bless you in ways you cannot imagine. Then, one day, you will be in My presence as you are ushered into Heaven by My angels, and when you see Me with arms outstretched to receive you, your joy will be complete.
Luke 15:11-32 (ESV) And he said, “There was a man who had two sons. 12 And the younger of them said to his father, ‘Father, give me the share of property that is coming to me.’ And he divided his property between them. 13 Not many days later, the younger son gathered all he had and took a journey into a far country, and there he squandered his property in reckless living. 14 And when he had spent everything, a severe famine arose in that country, and he began to be in need. 15 So he went and hired himself out to one of the citizens of that country, who sent him into his fields to feed pigs. 16 And he was longing to be fed with the pods that the pigs ate, and no one gave him anything. 17 “But when he came to himself, he said, ‘How many of my father's hired servants have more than enough bread, but I perish here with hunger! 18 I will arise and go to my father, and I will say to him, “Father, I have sinned against heaven and before you. 19 I am no longer worthy to be called your son. Treat me as one of your hired servants.”’ 20 And he arose and came to his father. But while he was still a long way off, his father saw him and felt compassion, and ran and embraced him and kissed him. 21 And the son said to him, ‘Father, I have sinned against heaven and before you. I am no longer worthy to be called your son.’ 22 But the father said to his servants, ‘Bring quickly the best robe, and put it on him, and put a ring on his hand, and shoes on his feet. 23 And bring the fattened calf and kill it, and let us eat and celebrate. 24 For this my son was dead, and is alive again; he was lost, and is found.’ And they began to celebrate. 25 “Now his older son was in the field, and as he came and drew near to the house, he heard music and dancing. 26 And he called one of the servants and asked what these things meant. 27 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.’ 28 But he was angry and refused to go in. His father came out and entreated him, 29 but he answered his father, ‘Look, these many years I have served you, and I never disobeyed your command, yet you never gave me a young goat, that I might celebrate with my friends. 30 But when this son of yours came, who has devoured your property with prostitutes, you killed the fattened calf for him!’ 31 And he said to him, ‘Son, you are always with me, and all that is mine is yours. 32 It was fitting to celebrate and be glad, for this your brother was dead, and is alive; he was lost, and is found.’”
