Waiting For The Prodigal by Carol Chkoreff A Godly parent never anticipates
that their darling child, will be a prodigal bent on
discovering the worldly and wild. Nevertheless life and culture
attracts the one who is curious, curious to the attractions that
would make a parent furious. Having not a surety of one's self a
little lamb thought it best, to kick against the teachings and
rules that had been a test. Finding the pleasures of the world
a common thrill that can, only lead to a life filled with
heartache and pain for a man. A Godly parent's heart bleeds with
the agony of knowing that, and that the little lamb will not
hear the pleas and will try to combat. Combating all that has been taught
and shared of why the Lord, and His ways will be the happiest
part and why you won't be bored. Wrestling in the midnight hour with
the demons of hell and screams, of thoughts cascading down from
your own brain's tower of beams. Rebuking the thoughts and speaking
God's Word and His blood, brings on God's peace and that
there will be victory like a flood. When the victory comes and the
powers of darkness subside and toter, like a river bank that has been
overwhelmed with its content of water. There is no sweeter fragrance than
seeing this child's face glow with, only love, truth and contentment
that carries a message with no myth. Only Jesus can truly bring such
beauty and assurance of God's unfailing, love and mercy that was bought on
our Heavenly Father's Son's unfailing. Trust and truth are born out of the
fact that God is the same yesterday, today, and forever and that He will never
give up bringing that little lamb back to obey. So weary parents be encouraged that
God is more interested in that lamb, than you are, if you can really get
that trust in His unfailing love and His "I AM." He is the "I AM" that never changes
and neither slumbers nor sleeps planning, a mission of bringing our children
back where they can be all with no banning.
