This song from the movie, The Gospel, is a testimony in itself.
Here's to all the prodigal sons and daughters (past and present)...it's not too late to return to God:
My favorite quotes from the preacher in the song:
"As the choir begins to sing, there are some of you who are going through your own storms. Can we talk about it?"
"Don't allow those situations in your life to keep you from having a relationship with God. No, you need to know Him!"
"You know many of us talk about, 'Oh I'm going to get to know God tomorrow.' TOMORROW ISN'T PROMISED and you can have salvation TODAY!"
"There is no perfect church! If there's a perfect church, it stopped being perfect the moment you and I walked in! BUT there IS a perfect God!"

Can I get a Hallelujah, AMEN? :)
*You can read about The Prodigal Son (true story) in the Bible via Luke 15:11-32 which you can view online (http://www.biblegateway.com/).

A reminder of God's unfailing love
A father's love for his child...a lot like God's love for us:
"God is like that. When we are hurting and fighting to finish, He comes and helps us."

A promise to embrace
Pain, suffering, sorrow, disaster, disease, disappointments and death are not the final act to our human history!
A great and marvelous event will take place someday when Jesus Christ returns to take His faithful followers HOME.
Didn't you know? Earth is not our home-- it's our training grounds. Our lives here on this side of eternity are to be spent living like Jesus-- loving the Lord our God with our full hearts and loving our neighbors as ourselves...ultimately showing the world a glimpse of our God whose heart is filled with compassion and arms are never too short to save.
On what has been referred to as, "that great, gettin-up mornin'" (the return of Jesus Christ), "The sky shall unfold/preparing His entrance/the stars shall applaud Him/with thunders of praise/the sweet light in His eyes/shall, shall enhance those awaiting/and we shall behold Him then, face-to-face..."
