Gladly and Thankfully

Luke 15&14

Lord God, my merciful father, I was lost, and now I am found. I was dead, and now I am alive again. You and all of heaven rejoice because, by your grace, I have come back home to you, great God.

All that you have is mine. I am back as your son. I am covered by your righteousness and shod with your love. I am a joint heir with my elder brother, the Lord Jesus Christ.

I deserve none of this mercy. I am not worthy. I am humbled by your love and patience. I receive your forgiveness and reconciliation with humility and constant thanksgiving.

Thank you, Father, Son, and Holy Spirit for bringing me to my senses and for granting me repentance. I have come home gladly and thankfully. I forsake all. I take up my cross daily and follow you, Lord Jesus.

You give a great supper, father, and you invite many people, and with joy I attend now and forever.
