Choose joy! It may be hard sometimes, but the alternative will just tear you down. In this episode of Coffee to Go, hosts Karin Peter and Blake Smith take a look at the story of the Prodigal Son from the Gospel of Luke. While the young man was ready to receive what he deserved… nothing … the father was more focused on the joy of his return. That’s how God feels when we “return home.” For some of us, it’s probably good we don’t get what we really deserve. Instead, we get welcomed with open arms and pure joy.
