The prodigal son is the best story I know of in Scripture that displays the heavenly Father's love and devotion to His children. Our security is in Christ Jesus and not in anything or anyone else. We are kept by the power of His blood. The four benefits of the father to the prodigal son demonstrates that. Our Father in heaven desires us; we are in a relationship not a contract agreement. Relationship transcends beyond our sins, brokenness, and disappointments; and shelters us with the Father's love. Does God get angry? Yes, of course He does. He can also be upset with us? Yes, but never angry or upset enough to cast us away. John 6:37, "All that the Father giveth me shall come to me; and him that cometh to me I will in no wise cast out." Consider the bond of the relationship with an earthy father and son or mother and daughter. No matter how far that son or daughter travels in the world and what they may engage in, they are still the son and daughter of their parents. Distance nor engagement in bad practices can separate them from the mutual bond they share. I don't believe we have the capacity to love our children more than God can love His. Romans 8:38-39, "For I am persuaded, that neither death, nor life, nor angels, nor principalities, nor powers, nor things present, nor things to come, Nor height, nor depth, nor any other creature, shall be able to separate us from the love of God, which is in Christ Jesus our Lord."Reading this book will give you a greater understanding of the familiar parable of the prodigal son and what that means to you
