A One-Person Show<\/strong><\/p>\n

Remember
\nhow Jesus
\nsaid the thing
\nto do is
\nto love
\nothers just
\nlike you love
\nyour Self?<\/p>\n

Or, make sure
\nyou remember
\nto love
\nyour Self
\nas much
\nas you love
\nothers?<\/p>\n

Here\u2019s an idea:<\/p>\n

Imagine you
\nin a one-person
\nshow.<\/p>\n

It\u2019s called
\nThe Prodigal.<\/p>\n

In Act One,
\nyou play this
\nperson who has
\nbetrayed
\ntheir Father,
\nor Mother,
\nfor starters,
\nwith a long
\nlist of
\nfailures.<\/p>\n

If you\u2019re like
\nme, that list
\ngoes on for
\npages.
\nI was re-reading
\nmy list
\njust this morning.<\/p>\n

In Act Two,
\nyou play
\nthe Father
\nor the Mother
\nwho sees
\nyour Self
\napproaching
\nfrom afar.<\/p>\n

You run to
\nembrace
\nyour Self
\nand laugh
\nwhen the
\nlist comes out
\nin all its gory
\ndetail.<\/p>\n

You use it
\nas a fireworks
\nstarter,
\nin act Three,
\nwhen you
\nthrow your Self
\na party
\nthe neighbors
\nwill never
\nforget.<\/p>\n

You\u2019ve come
\nhome.
\nAll is
\nforgiven.<\/p>\n
