“And he arose, and came to his father. But when he was yet a great way off, his father saw him, and had compassion, and ran, and fell on his neck, and kissed him.”
Luke 15:20 KJV
The Lord Jesus told this parable of the young son who had taken his share from his living father and wasted it in riotous living. When disaster hit him, he came to himself and wanted to return to his father so he set off for home. From a long distance away, his father saw him coming, dressed as a beggar, and great compassion swelled up in his heart for his son who was returning home. The father raced out to meet him, swept him up in his arms, hugged him dearly, and kissed him over and over with tender love. Such is our heavenly Father’s love for us. He hugs and kisses us with tender love. When Jesus taught His disciples to pray when they asked Him, He asked them to address God as “Our Father”, Whom they even feared to even say the Name of God! Yet the prayer ends with “For Thine is the Kingdom, the Power and the Glory forever and ever!” The King of Creation is our Father in Heaven Who loves us tenderly. We are the apple of His Eye! Thank You, Father!
