A Sinner's Resolve

"I will arise and go to my father, and will say unto him, Father, I have sinned against heaven, and before thee, and am no more worthy to be called thy son: make me as one of thy hired servants."  Luke 15:18-19.  In this wonderful passage, God is the Father and we are the son.  The son sees his fall into sin, and readily confesses to himself.  There is no road home from sin unless we can see our own sin, and be willing to go home.  God always welcomes the sinner home.  This son in Jesus' story saw himself as unworthy.  Sin will do that to an individual.  Sin would have us believe that we are no longer worthy of God and His love.  But we are.  God wants every sinner to come home.  God will welcome every sinner who sees their need of God and home.  The son was willing to accept a position of servant in his father's house.  While we are servants of God, we are also sons of God.  In every heart, may there be a resolve to confess our sin, arise, and go to our Father.
