James Castleton

Our God is so gracious. None other gratefully and joyfully welcomes home the wayward soul who would, only after having exhausted all possible alternatives, seek Him as the refuge of last resort. The natural father, under such circumstances, would seethe with the resentment born of pride. God, however, evinces a love so compassionate and encompassing that He would humble Himself to accept those who would be inclined, if left to their own devices, to choose anything and anyone but Him.
