My Notes

 Coming to your senses Verse: Luke 15:17 “When he finally came to his senses , he said to himself, ‘At home even the hired servants have food enough to spare, and here I am dying of hunger! God has put eternity in the hearts of man. There is a constant search in the heart of man to connect to he creator God. But often times, we ignore the call of God in our heart. We need to reach in and come to our senses. We need that moment of realisation. God may in his goodness, brings about situation in our lives, to sensitise us to this realisation.
