He felt a wave of intense anger wash over him as he stood at the edge of the property, watching his father embrace his younger brother with open arms, the joyous sounds of celebration echoing through the air. Laughter and music spilt out from the house, where the table was adorned with an abundance of food, and colourful decorations danced in the gentle breeze. This lavish celebration, which should have been a time of family unity, instead ignited a fire of resentment within him.

 

To him, it seemed utterly unjust that their father was throwing a grand party for a child who had been so unfaithfulโ€”who had squandered his inheritance on a life of indulgence and disregard. This perception fueled his frustration, causing him to turn away in disgust. He couldnโ€™t bring himself to join the festivities in the house that was filled with warmth and merriment; instead, he chose to remain outside, refusing to step over the threshold. In his mind, he believed that the years he had devoted to serving his father, working tirelessly in the fields, and being the dutiful son should have merited at least equal recognition or a share of the celebration.

 

Today, our focus shifts to the loving father, who, despite the chaos of joy surrounding him, sensed the turmoil brewing within his eldest son. Rather than sending a servant to pacify the angry son with empty words, the father made a deliberate choice to step outside into the fading light, seeking his son with genuine concern and an open heart. He approached his son, whose face was contorted with emotion, hoping to bridge the growing divide between them. The father wanted to understand the root of his sonโ€™s fury and to reassure him that love and acceptance were still very much a part of their relationship, regardless of the circumstances.

As you contemplate the path to reconciliation, ask yourself: Should you wait for someone to approach you, or should you take the first step to reach out? This question is essential as you reflect on the various relationships that shape your life. Consider the individuals you might be waiting to hear fromโ€”your son-in-law, who could be struggling with feelings of regret; your son in faith, who may be seeking guidance; an employee who might benefit from your support; a student yearning for your acknowledgement; a colleague navigating a challenging situation; a prayer partner who shares your spiritual journey; or even your daughter-in-law and two cherished children, who could be longing for connection.

 

Rather than allowing the absence of an apology to become a barrier, why not embrace the opportunity to mend these important relationships? Taking the initiative to reach out can be an act of courage and compassion. By opening your heart and extending your hand, you create a space for dialogue, understanding, and healing. Remember, reconciliation often requires vulnerability, and your willingness to embrace it can lead to profound growth and renewed bonds.

Let this be your guide today. Donโ€™t wait for the apology from your son-in-law, son in faith, employee, student, colleague, prayer partner, daughter-in-law, son, or daughter before reaching out to them.
