I had breakfast with a friend this morning and we started talking about the sermon he was going to preach this Sunday. The topic is the Prodigal son, and most of us have heard countless sermons about this story. One of my favorites is by a man named Tim Keller who says it should be renamed "Prodigal Father" because the story is really about the depth of love the father has for his son. I told my friend that I have tried on several occasions to sketch an image of what I imagine the face of the father when he sees his son coming home, and I try to use that as a reminder of how God looks on me even when I run away from Him. So I did up this sketch this morning for my friend and also for my own heart... hope you enjoy the smile of the father.
