11 Jesus continued: “There was a man who had two sons. 12 The younger one said to his father, ‘Father, give me my share of the estate.’ So he divided his property between them.
13 “Not long after that, the younger son got together all he had, set off for a distant country and there squandered his wealth in wild living. 14 After he had spent everything, there was a severe famine in that whole country, and he began to be in need. 15 So he went and hired himself out to a citizen of that country, who sent him to his fields to feed pigs. 16 He longed to fill his stomach with the pods that the pigs were eating, but no one gave him anything.
17 “When he came to his senses, he said, ‘How many of my father’s hired servants have food to spare, and here I am starving to death! 18 I will set out and go back to my father and say to him: Father, I have sinned against heaven and against you. 19 I am no longer worthy to be called your son; make me like one of your hired servants.’ 20 So he got up and went to his father.
“But while he was still a long way off, his father saw him and was filled with compassion for him; he ran to his son, threw his arms around him and kissed him.
21 “The son said to him, ‘Father, I have sinned against heaven and against you. I am no longer worthy to be called your son.’
22 “But the father said to his servants, ‘Quick! Bring the best robe and put it on him. Put a ring on his finger and sandals on his feet. 23 Bring the fattened calf and kill it. Let’s have a feast and celebrate. 24 For this son of mine was dead and is alive again; he was lost and is found.’ So they began to celebrate.
25 “Meanwhile, the older son was in the field. When he came near the house, he heard music and dancing. 26 So he called one of the servants and asked him what was going on. 27 ‘Your brother has come,’ he replied, ‘and your father has killed the fattened calf because he has him back safe and sound.’
28 “The older brother became angry and refused to go in. So his father went out and pleaded with him. 29 But he answered his father, ‘Look! All these years I’ve been slaving for you and never disobeyed your orders. Yet you never gave me even a young goat so I could celebrate with my friends. 30
But when this son of yours who has squandered your property with prostitutes comes home, you kill the fattened calf for him!’
31 “‘My son,’ the father said, ‘you are always with me, and everything I have is yours. 32 But we had to celebrate and be glad, because this brother of yours was dead and is alive again; he was lost and is found.’”

Hey everyone, it's Janay
It is truly my hope that through entering this new site that you will be encouraged to be authentically you, Without the ruthless and satanic barrier of shame, doubt and fear. Many changes have been made throughout this site and I'd truly like to thank those that have previously worked beside me and all those that have supported From a Heart of WoRship Inc. so willingly and consistently throughout the years; you are all appreciated. With growth, maturity, obedience, transformation and guidance from the leading of the Holy Spirit it is my hope that this change draws you all closer to Christ Jesus and compels you all to pursue purpose and embark on your present and future endeavors. May your life illustrate and illuminate a purpose driven life, full of peace, transparency, holiness, faith, perseverance, integrity, uniqueness, intimacy with Christ Jesus, genuine love for others and for self. May you desire to live a life of accountability, forgiveness, joy and a life that's willing to go against the grain in obedience to The Holy Spirit despite the weight of your trials, the opinions of others, the satanic barrier of humiliation that may have stemmed from past pain or a current circumstance and may you be given the courage to stand and fight despite every trick, tactic, scheme and plot of the enemy. May your desire to please God outweigh your desire to please people and may you be willing to be all that God created and called you to be no matter what season you are in and no matter who chooses to believe in you or walk beside you. Before you begin to browse around; let me remind you just in case, you're in a season of uncertainty and despair. "You are loved beyond measure and there's nothing that you've ever done to make God's heart stop beating for you. Nor are you or have you ever fought any battle alone. His love was the same yesterday, last week, last year, today and it will be the same for you tomorrow and forever more." Before you press enter take a few minutes to read and familiarize yourself with the beautiful story of the prodigal son that I've provided through BibleGateway for all who enter the site below. My hope is that through reading and browsing my site you'll begin to realize that no matter how far you've gone, "if you still have breath in your lungs, you still have a purpose, and His arms are opened wide waiting for you!" If He left the 99 for me, He'll leave the 99 for you; Forgive yourself ....He's willing to meet you where you are.
