S - Luke 15:28 “The older brother was angry and wouldn’t go in. His father came out and begged him, 29 but he replied, ‘All these years I’ve slaved for you and never once refused to do a single thing you told me to. And in all that time you never gave me even one young goat for a feast with my friends. 30 Yet when this son of yours comes back after squandering your money on prostitutes, you celebrate by killing the fattened calf!’
O - This is the parable of the prodical son. The older brother shows us his anger over his father's reaction to his brother coming home.
A - There are people that do not know Jesus right now and they are living a life that is not pleasing to God, but one day they will come to know Him, through me, and God is very pleased when this happens. I too need to celebrate these individuals' decision to follow Jesus and not act like this brother that feels that I deserve more than this new Christian because I have been serving Him longer. ALL people are of utmost important to God and I am not to judge people as to how they may have lived before knowing Jesus.
P - God, I pray that you help me to have a tender heart towards people and to know that everyone is truly valuable. I thank you for the grace that you have given me and my family and the blessings that you have showered on us. I pray for your guidence today and that you lead us through this decision on our adoption journey. I praise you Lord! You are good and your love endures forever! Thank you!
