Feel like God not listening. . ..read this.

• The lost son and his brothers lostness. we often feel the story is just about one returning.

  Deeper reflection demonstrates we miss so much if we do not focus on the other people in this parable.

  The parable talks about both the prodigal son and his older brother, who also needs to learn to accept the father’s mercy. Both the younger son, who is expecting to be punished, and the older son, who expects a reward for his good behavior, are not acting according to God’s love, which transcends both reward and punishment. The greatest joy for the father, is restored relationship,this needs to stressed,

  I want a party as well.I want some reward as well.

  Don't we all feel lost,alone,neglected,feel like God not listening.

  Take a period focus on you ,read the story.
