Love it when God speaks. Love it when He responds to our prayers. Today was one such day when God spoke in church. No it wasn't even the main point that got me. But it was the great little small detail that really spoke out, screamed out at me: God embraced the smelly dirty lost son who came back. Ok I know this is going to be offensive to all pig-lovers out there (!) but pigs were considered by the Jews as spiritually unclean and filthy beyond the physical. The lost son was practically living like a pig in a pig stye for an undisclosed period of utter desperation, but yet the Jewish father came running, embracing the son when he finally came back, ignoring the stains and the smell and the spiritual contamination because of his all-overriding love for him.
This is but a mere glimmer of the wonderful unconditional love that our dear Lord has for all of us! Don't just take my word for it, but if one actually went looking, one can find out that there is so much more than just this...
