Luke 15:13-14

Not long after that, the younger son got together all he had, set off for a distant country and there squandered his wealth in wild living.  After he had spent everything, there was a severe famine in that whole country, and he began to be in need.

From Background Notes [BN] for January 26th & 27th written by Pastor Bob Brown:

Still, there was redemption for the younger son. Unlike Esau who found no repentance, the so-called prodigal finally woke up to the short-sightedness of the hustle that deceived him.

“Better,” he says to himself, “to be a servant in my father’s house, than to be here!” He shakes off false pride and heads home, where, to his surprise, daddy never stopped waiting for him, but runs to meet him, armed with the mercy of a father’s love.  [BN, 6]
