A rebellious son grew up to always be in trouble. Finally, after years of shame, hurt, embarrassment, and humiliation, His Father threw in the towel. “You are no longer my son, You are no longer welcome at my house.” The young man got into a serious situation one day and ended up in prison. He began writing his mother, but his father still was to hurt to communicate. Years passed and the son was released and was ready to go home, He wrote his mother “If my father wants me and can forgive me, tie a white ribbon around the pole at the train station and I’ll get off, if not I’ll just keep going.” As his train approached the station he could not bare to look. He covered his face and asked the passenger next to him to tell him if he saw a white ribbon around the train station pole. The passenger looked out the window and calmly said. “I do not see a ribbon …” The son’s heart broke and his eyes tightened and tears began to flow.
“I do not see one ribbon…” the passenger repeated. “No, I see see hundreds and hundreds of white ribbons around every pole, every fence post, and tree, and there is a man waving a white ribbon standing on the train station platform!”
"Did you know that no matter what you have done, God can and wants to forgive you. This is Pastor Darryl Crain reminding you Restoration is being Restored to the Father’s presence! Join us this Sunday at the Dome 10:30am. See you there.
