Podcast about the song: The Prodigal

I’m coming home to you my father
I am the prodigal please forgive me
I’m coming home
But I am not worthy
To be your child let me be your servant

A father’s heart filled with love
That forgives me even if I don t deserve
Gods heart is like a father’s heart
He is longing for me to coming home

I did not want to obey you father
I did not want to see
That your thoughts were love
And you gave to me all your gifts and blessings
I did not want to see the tears in your eyes

Away from your life seemed so easy
Each day I did what I chooses to do
But my friends were just approaching me
When my money was gone
They left me too

Then I stood alone everything lost
And I had to work as a servant
I had to eat food of pigs remembering how good you are
And I went home not feeling worthy
To be in your house as a servant
But you were waiting there for me to come

And you are calling me: my son

How does the concept of forgiveness play a role in our relationships, both with others and with    ourselves? Pls talk about this question from God give us forgiveness.

Since we all commit sins and errors, relationship without forgiveness is not possible. If we want to live together in peace and harmony, it is necessary that we forgive each other. If not, there comes bitterness which destroys every relationship. And bitterness is like the root of a tree, that begins to grow and destroys all our life and relationship.

This is why forgiveness is the main topic in the bible. First, because God has forgiven us, since Jesus Christ died for our sins on Calvary. If we accept this sacrifice, we are forgiven and can have a relationship with the living God.

But God calls us, to forgive the people that surround us, too. There is the story about the servant who was not willing to forgive his colleague a small amount of money, even his master has forgiven him a large unpayable amount of money.
In this story the servant who was not willing to forgive, had to go to prison and that is a good image for what will happen to us, when we not forgive: We go into a spiritual and emotional prison and we are suffering there alone without the fellowship with others.

In other parts of the bible, God calls us, not to let the sun go down before we forgive and when we are angry, we shall not sin.

I think the bible speaks a clear language about the topic forgiveness.

What does it mean to truly feel worthy of love and acceptance, especially when we feel like we have made mistakes or fallen short?

Especially when we cannot get right acceptance in our work and life.

We have to see from whom we aspect love and forgiveness. The only one who can give us real love and forgiveness is God in heaven. Only he knows our true worth, because we are so worthful for him, that he has given his son for us. In other parts of the bible it is written, that he knows that we are dust and not able to fulfil the things that we should and his only goal is to save so many people as he can, because he doesn’t t want none of us to get lost and go to hell.

The next one who should give us love is our family. But already there often we don t get the love we need and from our colleagues at work, we don t get it neither.

So, my conclusion is, the only place where you can find real love is in a good relationship with God.

How can we learn to recognize and appreciate the love and blessings that are given

to us, even when we may not initially see or understand them?

When you receive Jesus Christ as your savior, you go through the narrow door, it is the beginning of the journey, not the end. You will be on the narrow path to heaven after entering the narrow port which is the path of sanctification.
God will lead you there and the more you walk with him each day, the more you will see, that he transforms you. It is a process which takes years. In the beginning we make of course a lot of mistakes, but the more we are with him, the more we understand his ways and can enjoy what he has done for us.

In times of difficulty or hardship, how can we find the strength and courage to face our challenges head-on, rather than seeking temporary solutions or distractions?

What will God lead us in such situation?

The good question always is, if you allow God to lead us.
The todays song is “The prodigal”. He did not want to have a safety life in the house of his father . He wanted to live as he wanted and do the things on his own. So God stopped to lead him, but he did not stop waiting for him.

The prodigal was able to reason when life really went hard for him. And sometimes it is necessary that we face challenges and hard situations for to be able to reason that we are wrong.

Often, we remember the goodness of God, when we are spiritually with the pigs as the Prodigal was.

What can we learn from the experience of feeling alone and abandoned, and how can we use that knowledge to cultivate deeper connections and meaningful relationships?

We learn from the experience of feeling alone, that we were seeking at the wrong place and that we had a bad image of God.
For the prodigal, God was the master, that obliged him to work. His elder brother will have the first-born right, so he thought, better to take my heritage and go away.

When he went home, he did not aspect to be received as a son. He thought the servants in the house of my father have a good life, so I want to be a servant, too.

But his father had was so happy, when he came, that he made a party and gave him a ring.

And here we meet in the story something interesting: The elder brother became jealous about the party. He was living in the house of the father, but his friends were more important to him as his father.

So, none of the brothers had a good relationship with the father and the younger went into a good relationship with the father because he repented what has done.

How can we develop a sense of humility and gratitude, recognizing that we are not entitled to anything, but rather, everything we think what we receive from God is a gift?

We can develop a sense of humility and gratitude by remembering where we have lived before coming to God and where we live now. That God has accepted us as his child and given us eternal life already is a great gift, even the circumstances around us did not change already.

Sister， were you a prodigal before? Which thing changed you totally?

I had a time, when I walked away from the God creator of the bible. I was not able to see his goodness in all things and I wanted to do the things as I wanted to do and searched refugee in other religions and philosophies.

But one day I felt, I have to go to the church and I had the feeling, that the preacher is preaching only for me. So, I repented that I walked away and wrote the song, the prodigal to express my feelings in that time.
