COMING HOME
“Already are” is the secret. NOW WE ARE THE SONS OF GOD—not will be, nor when we do something on our part (see 1 John 3:1-3). IT ALREADY IS A FACT THAT WE, IN OUR INNERMOST BEING, ARE SONS (CHILDREN) OF GOD. However, we are “lost” in the sense that we have become blinded to what we “already are” in our innermost being. The Prodigal Son tried to reject his place in the father’s house and ended up coming back because of the constraints of love. He could not escape his true identity. So, I believe, at some point, either in this plane of life or another one, we are “predestined” to return home to what we “already are” in God. While we live in ignorance of that we suffer accordingly just like the Prodigal Son did when he wasted himself and finally ended up eating in a pig pen—one of the filthiest places that one can imagine in earthly terms. We, like him, can choose to feed with the swine but there will come a time when we get sick of living this way and the constraints of Love will bring us back home which actually we’ve never left but have lost sight of in the enticements of the realm of matter—the five physical senses which never tell the truth about who we really are in God.
