The God Who Waits

Scripture  

Luke 15:20 (NRSV)  

But while he was still far off,  

his father saw him and was filled with compassion;  

he ran and put his arms around him and kissed him.

Refrain  

You waited for me without shame.

Quote

Brennan Manning, from *The Ragamuffin Gospel*  

“Jesus came not for the spiritually elite but for the wobbly and weak-kneed  

who know they don’t have it all together and who are not too proud to accept the handout of amazing grace.  

He came for those who knew they had nothing but were willing to receive everything.  

Grace means that no one is too far gone.  

And God’s love means that He waits longer than we expect,  

and runs faster than we deserve.”
