Monday - 6/11 - Read Luke 15:11-24
Can you imagine the thoughts that were racing through the mind of the prodigal son's dad when his son said "Give me my portion of the inheritance. I'm outta here!"
Was he hurt? Confused? Frustrated? How would you feel?
How do you react when your children make unwise decisions?
Was this the first time his son had approached him?
Had they discussed this previously? Did he try to talk his son out of leaving?
Jesus doesn’t tell us, does he? He merely said that the father divided his property among his two sons, implying that each was free to do as he wished.
For most parents, letting go is an incredibly difficult thing to do, yet it is one of the most important and vital things you'll do.
If your children are still "in the nest" are you preparing to let go?
Why not take a couple of minutes to pray. Ask God for wisdom. Ask God for insight into how you can best let go.
Read James 2:14-26 for next Sunday
