Pastor Buddy Owens sheds light on a familiar parable that might help you see it in a whole new way. “We don’t know what happens next in the story. We don’t know if the younger brother stays home and cleans up his act. But then, we never know what will happen next in any ‘prodigal’s’ story. You can’t withhold love and forgiveness until you see what happens next. Why? Because your love and forgiveness can determine what happens next. The rest of the story is up to you.”
