To the Ones that Stay with God!

                                   The Brother of the Prodigal Son, You are appreciated" 

“Luke 15:28-30 KJV And he was angry, and would not go in: therefore came his father out, and intreated him. 29 And he answering said to his father, Lo, these many years do I serve thee, neither transgressed I at any time thy commandment: and yet thou never gavest me a kid, that I might make merry with my friends:”

“Luke 15:31-32 KJV And he said unto him, Son, thou art ever with me, and all that I have is thine”

I hope your helping Heart does not leave you bitter, are the lyrics to a song called “I hope you dance”. To the ones who remain with God in the church, in organization or are walking with God in life. Do not allow your helping heart to leave you bitter. The story of the Prodigal Son, he leaves with his portion of heritage, but his brother remains loyal and stays by the father’s side. When the prodigal son returns his brother is angry about the celebration, because he did not receive a celebration for staying. 

Proverbs 13:12 KJV “Hope deferred maketh the heart sick:

But when the desire cometh, it is a tree of life.”

The brother was loyal, appeared to be hard working, and he did not see his father’s respect for him. The Brother, who stayed, did not realize his faithfulness to the father, was going to lead to a huge blessing as his father told him that  he was going to receive it all!!! Everything, the father said, everything I have is yours…  Sometimes, the loyal ones work hard with no thank you and not receiving kindness from others, but God sees and God knows, and God will reward you in due time. Stay Close to God, so the heavenly father can love, comfort you and protect you. Lean on God’s understanding as his ways are higher physical and spiritual than ours. 

To the loving ones that Stay, You are loved and appreciated!
