We're familiar with the parable of the prodigal son. In this same parable, though, there is another person we can describe as prodigal: the father. The father wasn't wastefully extravagant. Rather, he possessed an abundance of grace and was willing to dispense that grace upon his lost son. How prodigal our heavenly father is as he dispenses his unlimited grace upon us when we return to him again and again in repentance. Whether we return after being wastefully extravagant or after being jealous of his grace to others, he forgives us. He is our prodigal father.
