他醒悟过来、就说、我父亲有多少的雇工、口粮有余、我倒在这里饿死么． 我要起来、到我父亲那里去、向他说、父亲、我得罪了天、又得罪了你． 从今以后、我不配称为你的儿子、把我当作一个雇工罢。 于是起来往他父亲那里去。相离还远、他父亲看见、就动了慈心、跑去抱着他的颈项、连连与他亲嘴。 儿子说、父亲、我得罪了天、又得罪了你．从今以后、我不配称为你的儿子。 父亲却吩咐仆人说、把那上好的袍子快拿出来给他穿．把戒指戴在他指头上．把鞋穿在他脚上． 把那肥牛犊牵来宰了、我们可以吃喝快乐． 因为我这个儿子、是死而复活、失而又得的。他们就快乐起来。

And when he came to himself, he said, How many hired servants of my father’s have bread enough and to spare, and I perish with hunger! I will arise and go to my father, and will say unto him, Father, I have sinned against heaven, and before thee, And am no more worthy to be called thy son: make me as one of thy hired servants. And he arose, and came to his father. But when he was yet a great way off, his father saw him, and had compassion, and ran, and fell on his neck, and kissed him. And the son said unto him, Father, I have sinned against heaven, and in thy sight, and am no more worthy to be called thy son. But the father said to his servants, Bring forth the best robe, and put it on him; and put a ring on his hand, and shoes on his feet: And bring hither the fatted calf, and kill it; and let us eat, and be merry: For this my son was dead, and is alive again; he was lost, and is found. And they began to be merry.

路加福音 15 这一段描绘小儿子回转与父亲迎接的场景。默想时留意他的承认和父亲的怜悯，不把故事简化成忽略后果的许可。 读经停了一段时间，我因为落下太多而不愿再打开。回到父的图像提醒我，开始不必先补完所有缺口。今天可以诚实地重新回应。 今天的一小步：今天只读一小段，留下一个观察，明天再继续。 把这段话放回原来的段落，留意说话的人、听话的人和前后文。不要把经文压成一句立即见效的处方。
English
This part of Luke 15 portrays the younger son's return and the father's welcome. Notice confession and compassion without turning the story into permission to ignore consequences. After a break from Bible reading, being far behind keeps me from reopening it. The picture of returning to the father reminds me that restarting need not await catching up on every gap. A small step today: Read one short passage today, record one observation, and continue tomorrow. Read the passage in its surrounding section. Notice speaker, audience, and context instead of turning Scripture into an instant formula.

天父，读经停了一段时间，我因为落下太多而不愿再打开。让我耐心聆听你的话，先理解，再谈怎样应用。 奉耶稣的名，阿们。

Father, After a break from Bible reading, being far behind keeps me from reopening it. Teach me to listen patiently to your word, seeking understanding before application. In Jesus' name, amen.
