#The Older Brother

Are you hearing the whisper of mercy saying to you ‘return’? What does this mean and who are we returning to?

Spend some time praying for one another and contemplating the following: Are you more like the younger brother? How? Or maybe God is challenging you on the elder bother.. Are there people you find hard to forgive? Do you think others are more underserving than you of God's love and compassion? Maybe you are stuck in outward appearances of self-righteousness, religiosity and more concerned with what others think of you than what is going on inside of you? What is God speaking to you about becoming like the father? Highlight one area you want to take to God. What Spiritual practices or disciplines can you engage in to deepen your formation.
