A Senseless Waste

Many waste their money.

More waste their time.

Sadder yet, countless waste their lives.

Prodigal: Webster’s New World Dictionary 1971 edition [Definition #1] exceedingly or recklessly wasteful.

Such a senseless waste…

“Then He said: A certain man had two sons. And the younger of them said to his father, ‘Father, give me the portion of goods that falls to me.’ So he divided to them his livelihood. And not many days after, the younger son gathered all together, journeyed to a far country, and there wasted his possessions with prodigal living. But when he had spent all, there arose a severe famine in that land, and he began to be in want. Then he went and joined himself to a citizen of that country, and he sent him into his fields to feed swine. And he would gladly have filled his stomach with the pods that the swine ate, and no one gave him anything (Luke 15:11-16 NKJV).”

After coming to his senses, the prodigal didn’t waste any more time.

 “And he arose and came to his father (Luke 15:20a NKJV).”

His father met him with open arms.

“But when he was still a great way off, his father saw him and had compassion, and ran and fell on his neck and kissed him (Luke 15:20b NKJV).”

We all need the Heavenly Father’s compassion.
