He is.

He is.

And the prodigal son story isn't just for him.

It's for all of us.

If we feel like we've been left behind and if we feel like we have done God wrong, God is giving us the opportunity to see that he is a father who waits on the porch for us.

So I don't care what you've done, what has been held against you.

why your earthly fathers won't talk to you.

I don't care what it is.

The reason as to why you don't have a great relationship with men in your life, authoritative men in your life, whatever that excuse is, I promise you there is an authoritative man, the most authoritative man.

And he is waiting on a porch waiting for your arrival.

Just run to him, right?

While Malik and I were in Rome, I was talking earlier about the great revelation we had about sonship.

And this great revelation comes from Romans 8.

And I actually want to give my leader, Malik Brookings.

my favorite Bible teacher, for sharing with me this revelation.

We were reading Romans 8, and I'm going to read in 14 through 17.

14, which writes, "'For all who are led by the Spirit of God are sons of God.

For you did not receive the spirit of slavery to fall back into fear, but you have received the spirit of adoption of sons, whom we by Abba cry, Abba, Father.

The Spirit himself bears witness with our spirit that we are children of God.'

And if children, then we are heirs, then heirs of God and fellow heirs with Christ, provided we suffer with him in order that we must be glorified with him.
