Luke 15

Luke15:20 “And he arose and came to his father. But when he was still a great way off, his father saw him and had compassion, and ran and fell on his neck and kissed him.

Every time I read this verse I am touched by the love of this father.
Actually we can say, that this son is really a spoilt, yes, a lost son:

1. He wanted his heritage before the father has died (!!!) [At this point I would already think: Oh, you spoilt son!!!]
   
2. He took the possessions, which he received from his father, to "waste his possessions with prodigal living"(Lk.15:13)[... he is not only a very spoilt man... but worst: spiritual dead!(Lk.15:30who has devoured your livelihood with harlots)]
3. After he has wasted all of his possession he has to feed the swine in order to survive (more or less) [Jesus was saying this parable to the Pharisees: For the Jewish swine are unclean animals... and he lived with the swine and ate what they ate (at least he wanted to)- from the Jewish perspective: he should be banished!!!]
4. As he recognizes and remembers that in his fathers home everything is much better, he returns to his home [...just like someone, who only turns to Jesus, when he suffers. As long as he is fine, he doesn't care about his faith and puts Jesus into a little box, where he can take him out again, when he is in trouble.]

If I imagine being the father... I don't know how I would react. But I surely wouldn't "[run] and [fall] on his neck and kissed him."
To fall on his neck and kiss him, who has just been living together with the swine...
I don't think that human being can have such love... such forgiveness...
