Acceptance is one of the strongest needs that humanity has. This need is different from our other basic needs. Most of our other needs are about surviving…this need is about thriving. We need food, to survive…water to survive…shelter to survive…oxygen to survive…we literally will not live long without these basic needs met. But…acceptance is not necessary for surviving…it is for thriving. People do all sorts of things when it comes to being accepted. Acceptance is a felt need…people must FEEL and KNOW that they are accepted. It does not matter how accepted they ARE…what matters is that each person must FEEL accepted KNOW they are accepted. I now that you understand that …most people will do a whole lot of stuff to prove themselves, so that they can FEEL accepted. In fact, many people spend a large part of their lives trying to prove something to somebody. This morning, I want us to examine the story of the prodigal son found in Luke 15.
