through God's lens

-the story of this son is like us, returning to God the Father

-

-the son was sinful and remembered the things that he used to eat

-sin has consequences

-the son left home as a son, but wants to return being just a servant

   -sin got a hold of him, being from a son to a hired servant.. he lost sight of who he is

      -sin always decreases value

-what we say to us is powerful !

   -the son sees himself as a hired servant, he will behave like one..

-If we have low self worth, it's hard to figure the purpose of life... Then it's easy for others to figure out for us

   -problem is ppl are also not sure.. blind leading the blind.. they will confuse us

      -cos they are not the one who created us

-

-ita hard for them to believe that God have a something for them

-self image is what the devil been using

   -tempting Eve, and Jesus

-Moses felt so small that the plan God have for him is too big

-The way we see ourself can be a hindrance to God's plan for us

-the wrong self image precent us from enjoying God's promises

-the value we place on ourself will determine how other sees us and how they will treat us

-

-our authority is connected to our identity

-

-bring quickly

   -the father ran as soon as he sees his son

   -the father wants his son to enter the house as his son

-

-now the older son has a problem.. he became jealous

Luke 15 29

-the older son felt the the relationship he has with his father is transactional

-when love is absent on a relationship, it becomes transactional

-we don't have to work to earn what is from God cos we are His children
