The prodigal's father, knowing his son might make mistakes and might lose all he had, still took a chance. He had to, since his investment was in the son, not what he gave him. And when his son failed, when he threw it all away, it made no difference. The things were gone. The child returned. Because he loved him he did not merely await his return. Rather he ran out to meet him. Not to say, "tell me you're sorry," but to say, "try again."
