Personal Reflection:
This week I’ve been sitting in one truth I can’t shake:
👉 Jesus told stories so we’d stop wondering if we were too far gone… and start believing we’re wanted.
And the best part? He wasn’t vague.
He told us exactly what the Father is like — through five unforgettable parables.
I pulled together my favorite five in this week’s video — short, powerful, and full of red-letter words that speak straight to the soul.
Sometimes, the most powerful way to understand God… is to hear Him say, “I see you.”
The Prodigal Son. The Lost Sheep. The Good Samaritan.
These aren’t just parables — they are portraits of a pursuing Father.
If you’ve ever felt overlooked, unseen, or like your faith is too small… Jesus told these stories for you.
Jesus,
You didn’t speak in theories — You told stories.
Stories that meet me in my fear, my doubt, my weakness...
and show me what the Father is really like.
Thank You for chasing the lost,
welcoming the broken,
and honoring small faith.
Plant these parables deep in my heart today.
Let them shape how I see You…
and how I walk with You.
