Today’s Word Prompt is Belong…
GO.
He wandered lost.
Hungry.
Cold.
His clothes were torn and tattered. He had been gone from home a long time. What if they had forgotten? What if they didn’t care?
Of course he was wrong, he shouldn’t have left. But he wanted to see the world, experience things for himself. Have his own way!
Why, they didn’t understand him, he had big plans! He was going to be somebody and he wasn’t going to work on the farm like his brother for years and years to get there.
He wanted it now.
But his careless living had cost him all he had and now he was broke. He hadn’t eaten for days. Searching for food in trash bins where he didn’t belong.
What was he thinking?!
Hurry home Wayward One!
Hurry home Long-Lost Child!
Hurry home Prodigal Son!
There is no need to wander any longer. No need to hurt any more.
Take off that heavy burden and lay it at His feet.
He is the Healer of all pain, the Forgiver of any wrong.
Jesus is waiting with open arms to take you back to where you do belong…safely back home.
STOP.

Great take on this word – belong. I love that you used the story of the prodigal son. Well done and very encouraging.
Dear Candace Jo
Yes, we all run home to our Pappa God’s house when we realize that this world has nothing to offer us. And the joy in heaven when we all go to where we belong.
Blessings xx

Hi Nannette! We really don’t need to wonder much where we belong, do we?
This child belongs to all of us, doesn’t he?
Happy Friday,
Ceil
I was just thinking about the prodigal son parable yesterday. I love God’s timing. 🙂
I love how you wrapped the prodigal son’s wandering–his effort at self-sufficiency–as a burden. I hadn’t really thought of it that way, but it’s true! Thanks be to God to await the prodigals like us!
