ARE YOU A PRODIGAL ?



HE  DROPPED  OUTTA  SCHOOL  AND  STARTED  HANGIN  WITH  THUGS,
HE  STARTED  SMOKIN  AND  DRINKIN  AND  DOIN  DRUGS.
BUT  WHEN  HE  WAS  DOWN  ON  HIS  LUCK  HE  STARTED  THINKIN  ABOUT
HIS  LOVING  DAD,  TEARS  CAME  TO  HIS  EYES  WHEN  HE  THOUGHT  OF   
THE  GOOD  TIMES  THAT  THEY  ONCE  HAD.
BUT  HE  KEPT  TELLING  HIMSELF  HE  WILL  NEVER  FORGIVE  ME  FOR  ALL
THE  WRONG  THAT  I'VE   DONE,
I  AM  TAKING  THIS  STORY  FROM  THE  TEACHING  OF  JESUS  ABOUT  THE
PRODIGAL  SON.
BUT  PLEASE  LET  ME  SAY  THAT  NO  SIN  IS  TOO  BIG  THAT  IT  CANT  BE  ERASED,
BECAUSE  OUR  HEAVENLY  FATHER  IS  THE  GOD  OF  GRACE.
