Jesus told them, "God is like the dad who couldn't stop loving his boy, And people are like the son who said, "Does my dad really want me to be happy?" Jesus told people this story to show them what God is like. And to show people what they are like. So they could know, however far they ran, however well they hid, however lost they were- it wouldn't matter. Because God's children could never run to far, or be too lost, for God to find them. .Sally LloydJones
About This Quote
God is like the dad who couldn't stop loving his boy. Jesus said this about God so we can know that God loves us, no matter what we do. God can't stop loving us and never will. This is about the love of a father for his son.
It's like when your dad loves you and doesn't want you to do anything bad. He wants you to be happy and live a good life. He wants you to be safe and be in a good place in life.
We need to know that our dad loves us and cares about us and wants us to be happy and safe in life, even when we make mistakes or do bad things.
