Knowing the Father
Two weeks meditating on the Father heart of God — His tenderness, discipline, generosity, and unwavering welcome.
These devotionals are meant to land on the heart, not just the head. Take them slowly.
Day 1 · sample devotional
The Father runs
"Read the parable of the prodigal son."
Meditate
While the son was still a long way off, the father ran. Middle-eastern fathers did not run. They walked with dignity. But this father lifts his robe and sprints — past the village's stares, past propriety — to receive his son. This is the God you come home to today.
Pray
Father, thank you that you are not slow or reluctant. You run to meet me. Help me to come home today and rest in your welcome. Amen.
