Fish

I was reading for this week's sermon and came across a statement that really hit me. The quote reads, " God cleans the fish after He catches them", That may not seem all that profound, but it applies to our story of the lost son. Being found does not require that you get your act together and you change your life. In our story, it was the father who cleans up the son. In our lives, we simply need to " come to our senses" -- We need to be tired of ourselves and the world's way of doing things. At this point we are ready to be "found" by God and at this point He can start to make the changes He needs to.
