God Turns to Us as We Turn to Him (Luke 15)
The parable of the Prodigal Son constitutes one of the greatest spiritual lessons in the history of religious education. It is an attempt, on the part of the Great Teacher, to show that God turns to us as we turn to Him; that there is a reciprocal action between the Universal and the individual mind; that the Spirit is ready to help us whenever we turn to It.
The greatest lesson we have to learn is the unity of Love and Law; the necessity of law in shaping a divine individuality and the necessity of experience in awakening to this divine individuality.
God is Love and God is Law; the love of God is omnipresent and the Law of God is omnipresent. The Love of God is the Divine givingness: the eternal outpouring of Spirit through Its creation. The Law of God is the Law of Cause and Effect, which says that we can have only what we take. Since this taking is a mental and spiritual (as well as physical) act, we can only take that to which we are receptive. Jesus taught that it is done unto us as we really believe. “The thought is ever father to the act.”
