Bible Question:
Prodigal children, husbands, wives bring us deep pain, and the end results can be broken relationships, and be so very painfull. Last week I questioned if anyone has a prodigal. The response was quite touching. Many have their grown children who are Christians living together. This is, I believe a wide spred sin taking place through out our country and Christian homes. Parents are unsure how to deal with it. Do we build bridges or build walls with our prodigals? I would like to start a thread on this subject. I think this will bring out some healing which is deeply needed. Perhaps even save someones life. If you have a Prodigal or would have some good imput please share it as there are millions of familys dealing with this bashfull, shamefull subject. How do we deal with PRODIGALS? justme |
Bible Answer: … the love of God is shed abroad in our hearts by the Holy Ghost which is given unto us. Romans 5:5 Love never fails... 1 Corinthians 13:8 Show forth the love of God to your prodigal Love endures long and is patient and kind; … it takes no account of the evil done to it [it pays no attention to a suffered wrong]… Love bears up under anything and everything that comes, is ever ready to believe the best of every person, its hopes are fadeless under all circumstances, and it endures everything [without weakening]. 1 Corinthians 13:4-7 Be patient toward your prodigal Be kind toward your prodigal Do not take account of the evil done by your prodigal Bear up under whatever your prodigal may do Be ready to believe the best of your prodigal Continue to hope against the odds that your prodigal will come home … the goodness of God leads you to repentance Romans 2:4 Show forth the goodness of God to your prodigal For the which cause I also suffer these things: nevertheless I am not ashamed: for I know whom I have believed, and am persuaded that he is able to keep that which I have committed unto him against that day. 2 Timothy 2:12 Commit your prodigal to the Lord and believe that He is able to keep them |
