Reading: Luke 15:11-32; James 4:7-8
Devotional: Healthy relationships require investment—sacrifice, time, and intentional effort. The father in Jesus' parable didn't give up on his wayward son; he watched and waited, scanning the horizon daily. When the son finally returned, expecting rejection, he found celebration instead. This is your Father's heart toward you. Building trust and intimacy with God takes time, just like any meaningful relationship. You wouldn't expect a deep friendship from one annual phone call, yet we sometimes treat God this way. Investment means showing up even when it's inconvenient, listening when you'd rather talk, and choosing His presence over your preferences. Draw near to God, and He promises to draw near to you. The investment always yields eternal returns.
