DAY 4 OF 10 · Love
The Father Receives the Returning
God welcomes genuine repentance with mercy, restoration, and joy.
PRIMARY PASSAGE
Luke 15:11–24
Read this passage slowly in your Bible before continuing. My Daily Altar uses the King James Version for its English Scripture experience.
BIBLICAL CONTEXT
Listen to the passage on its own terms.
The younger son returns with a rehearsed confession and no claim to status. The father does not deny the son’s sin, but he runs to meet repentance with compassion. Grace restores relationship; it does not celebrate rebellion.
Reflect
What honest confession or returning step have I delayed?
Respond
Turn toward God today without excuses and name clearly what needs to change.
Pray
Merciful Father, give me courage to return, humility to repent, and faith to receive Your mercy.
