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: Dear Justme: I hear the ache in your heart. I feel the same ache in dealing with a child that struggles and makes choices that are clearly outside His will and righteous path. True, the struggle is, where to draw the line. In all my choices, I pause before reacting and pray for a couple days on whatever the action is to be. One thing I do not compromise on...this is a house which serves the Lord. Things which are clearly immoral or illegal are not to be exercised here. This is a hard line, I know. But I know that I will be called to be accountable for how I parented and lived, if you know what I mean. We must pray for the protection and victory of one another's families in the Body of Christ. And we must pray for strength which comes from the Holy Spirit to love inspite of the sin. Too, we must have the courage to look in the mirror to see our own sin, which does change our perspective to one of contriteness for all prodigals, for we ourselves are prodigals! Keep praying. Keep crying. God listens and comforts ALWAYS! Beensetfree :-) |
