Rejoice When A prodigal Comes Home

by Margaret Cagle

When the prodigal son came back home,
His father was glad, and he rejoiced,
But the other son was very bitter,
And his bitter opinions, he voiced.

The father called for a celebration.
He ordered the fatted calf to be killed,
Clothes were given to the prodigal son.
The father's heart with joy was filled.

The other son looked down on his brother,
That prodigal, who had badly gone astray.
He continued to condemn him for his wrong
After he returned to his father to stay.

Do we condemn those who return to God?
Do we bring up their forgiven sin?
If God can forgive His prodigal children,
Why can't we also forgive other men?
