And the son said to him, 'Father, I have sinned against heaven and in your sight; I am no longer worthy to be called your son.'I can easily empathize with the younger son here. I've been given a great inheritance, but have squandered it on things that are unimportant. I too am unworthy of being considered a son, and deserve, at the absolute most, to be a servant in Heaven.
However, I have to constantly remind myself that that is not what God has done for me. He didn't put a disqualification in my adoption papers. He accepts that I am imperfect, and admits me as a son anyway, even as He encourages me to do better.
