Return of the Prodigal Son - Pompeo Batoni - 1773 Thank you for standing in the field with arms opened wide, when I return from my rebellion.   Thank you for the embrace I do not deserve and Your willingness to see beyond my protests.   I tend to think, at times, that I can walk this path alone. So, I take a few steps closer to the edge before realizing my trail leads to folly.   Thank you for loving me with a love I cannot comprehend. Thank you for calling me Your son, or Your daughter, when I am no more than a slave. copyright 2025 - Donald P James Jr https://www.amazon.com/stores/Donald-P.-James-Jr./author

Even now, with all your turning away, with your denials and betrayals. Even now, with the hatred we immerse ourselves in, with the scars we inflict on each other. Even now, with wars fought and villages plundered, with children murdered and our streets flowing with blood. Even now, He looks down upon the chaos of our lives, and says, "Return to me". Fast, weep and mourn, tear your garments if you need a sign, but know that you can return, even now. copyright 2024 - Donald P James Jr https://www.amazon.com/stores/Donald-P.-James-Jr./author

Cast away from you all the transgressions that you have committed,  and make yourselves a new heart and a new spirit!  Ezekiel 18:31 Downtrodden of your own doing. Other gods have taken  pedestals in the heart of your worship. Remove your sin like a garment soiled by the sludge of the earth. Hear the voice calling out through prophets. Listen to your God, who pleads that you might turn down the road He intends. Saddened by the darkness of your choice, consuming the present day. He says, today, make your heart new, give your spirit new life. He is the sun rising in the mourn and setting in the eve. He is the one who aches when you raise voices against Him. Know He loves you, despite the choice harming your life. copyright 2017 - Donald P James Jr https://www.amazon.com/stores/Donald-P.-James-Jr./author
