A Repentant Heart - The prodigal son demonstrated a repentant heart that was broken when he came to his senses and decided to return home to his father. Repentance is a brokenness and change of life-direction marked by:
Hunger for Restoration - The prodigal son longed for something more than what he had available to him in his sin. He longed to go home. Luke 15:16
Humble confession - He willingly acknowledged his selfish violation of love, first toward God and then toward others. Luke 15:18-19
Plea for mercy - He recognized that he deserved nothing and pleaded for mercy, to serve as a slave, without a demand for restoration to his previous position in the family. Luke 15:21
