Prodigal Father

In midst of pleasure,in fun and excitement ,
leaving His hand I ran,got lost and 
could not find my way and called him a prodigal father.

Thinking He should have come after me ,
I myself turned my back on Him 
and proclaimed Him to be a prodigal father .

When it struck me mind ,
how dirty my life had become .
I turned back to Him and tried to find my way .

Tired of trying ,I lost all hope but at the end ,
I saw Him standing on a hilltop,
arms open wide to take me into an embrace ,
to forgive me of all my sins and make me whole again .

It  was then I understood that I was the prodigal son ,
but He always remained a loyal father .

Amen, my friend, none are good , we are all unclean ,if we could be good on our own , Jesus death was in vain, but through the spirit given unto you to cleanse with the living water through the death of Jesus, birthed into a Child of God: )
