The king was longing for his sinful son, but how could he bring him home? Could God be longing for us in the same way, and can he bring us home too? 2 Samuel 14 reveals the heart of God for reconciliation with us. Even in our dysfunction, God has a plan. Where we've failed as parents, as children, and in other relationships. God has a plan to reconcile broken relationships and to reconcile us to Himself.
