PRESENTATION OUTLINE
But return to his father?
Never.
Confess to his village that he had squandered his inheritance?
Impossible.
Face the neighbors who surely had warned him that he was disgracing his family and breaking his parents’ hearts? Return to his old friends after boasting of how he was breaking free?
Unbearable.
But the hunger, loneliness, and remorse simply wouldn’t go away—until
“he came to himself.”
Who among us has not departed from the path of holiness, foolishly thinking we could find more happiness going our own self-centered way?
Who among us has not felt humbled, brokenhearted, and desperate for forgiveness and mercy?
Perhaps some may even have wondered, “Is it even possible to go back? Will I be labeled forever, rejected, and avoided by my former friends?
Is it better to just stay lost?
Heaven will rejoice!
Our Heavenly Parents will run to embrace us and welcome us back!
The Savior's Atoning Power can and will heal us.

“It is not possible for you to sink lower than the infinite light of Christ’s [atoning sacrifice] shines.”

The Master Healer stands at the road that leads home, welcoming you.
And we as members of the Church of Jesus Christ seek to follow His example
and embrace you as our brothers and sisters, as our friends.
What are ways that we can be that example of love?
Angels in heaven will rejoice.
And so will we, your family in Christ. After all, we know what it’s like to be a prodigal. We all rely daily on the same atoning power of Christ. We know this path, and we will walk with you.
What are ways that we walk the path with those whose step falters?
HEAR the Father’s voice calling us to enter the road that leads home.
The challenge this week.
Find a spot where you can find complete silence and prayer to: Hear Him
We are not praying with our laundry list of wants and needs. We are going to our God to Hear Him.
In the silence of humility, we will.
