If we've been trying to live our own way and do our own thing, it's time to give Jesus a second look and consider what He offers us. When we take a step back and evaluate our choices, we're able to see more clearly that life doesn't turn out as well when we take charge as it does when we surrender to God. The story of the prodigal son reminds us that the Father is always inviting us to return to Him -- and when we do, He's waiting to welcome us with open arms.
