Table Talk (E61): It's Complicated: Week Six
from West Towne Weekly · host West Towne Christian Church
Life is messy, and relationships are complicated, but the story of the prodigal son reveals God's heart toward us. The father doesn't wait for his son to clean up first - he runs to meet him with open arms. Similarly, God doesn't move away from us when we mess up; we're the ones who hide due to shame and guilt. We're called to adopt this same posture toward others, balancing forgiveness with wisdom and healthy boundaries. True forgiveness doesn't mean ignoring hurt or being naive, but rather being ready for reconciliation while protecting our well-being through appropriate limits and discernment.
