How should we live knowing that the Father still runs?
- Repent quickly — Don’t wait to “clean up.” The Father runs to meet
you. - Receive grace fully — Stop trying to earn what the Father freely gives.
- Release others freely — The Father’s forgiveness becomes our model.
- Rejoice in God’s mercy — Celebrate what the Father celebrates.
- Reject the older‑brother spirit — Don’t let pride keep you outside the feast.
