The Progigal Son Part 2

When I think of the prodigal son the first thing that comes to mind is a boy who did not recognise what he had and decided he wanted the or no the prodigal son looks like a boy who does not value what he had and only learnt value by pain and suffering but are we not all like the prodigal son how often is it that's why we want to know the unknown how often is it that our curiosity is piqued by that which is supposed to be for bidding for that which we are advised to stay away from it is not a very human nature to want to check out that which we do not understand of that which is not clear to us are very nature desires clarity and knowledge of all things the prodigal son like all of us wanted to see what was out there and for that we have parking was a bad son who did not value what he had but funny enough every single great achievements of humankind aberthin on seeking out that which makes us curious we have a dream of something that has not been done and we trying to achieve it that is how civilisation has grown that is how the world has grown and that is how we have all the comfort we currently enjoy so really was the prodigal son a finish son or was he just another human being doing what human beings to best chasing his dream yes his dream was not successful because I guess when you left the house his desire was to go and build his wealth and build his own empire but he followed the wrong part he did not have the right mentorship he did not stay connected to his father to learn the ropes of how to grow his wealth and he ended up scoring even the little he had. If I had been in your shoes would I have done things much more differently we are also not have wanted to try my own way will I have not tried to see if I could do it by my power would have been content we just trusting and following the father's instructions and the father's way these are the questions I ask myself when I look deeply at the story of the prodigal son how much different am I from him do I blindly trust my father or do I need to wait for myself before I can trust this world can the father trust me to follow all his instructions the father said of Abraham I trust Abraham that he will teach his children to follow my precepts can the father trust me to even follow his patients that the less of teaching others to follow his process these are the things I want pondering and I think of the poly as I meditate on the story of the prodigal son.

Finding Balance in Pursuing Your Dreams

 In the journey of pursuing our dreams, it is crucial to find a sense of balance. As we strive to become what our hearts desire, and as we work towards perfection, it is important to maintain balance in our relationships. Sometimes, even those who mean well may not fully comprehend the depth and significance of our dreams. However, it is vital to remember that their lack of understanding does not indicate a lack of care or support. Instead of attacking or shutting them out, we should approach these situations with empathy and understanding. It is important to acknowledge that until our vision is transformed into reality, only a few individuals will truly grasp its essence. Our dreams, often deeply personal and unique to us, may not easily translate into words or concepts that can be fully comprehended by others. This does not diminish the value of our dreams or the significance they hold in our lives. Instead, it highlights the importance of finding a sense of balance and patience as w

Studying Rightly

Hello guys, 2Timothy 2:15 "Study to shew thyself approved unto God, a workman that needeth not to be ashamed, rightly dividing the word of truth." Did you know that for years I have read this chapter and only related it to spiritual things?  I took it to mean that by studying God's word and the life of heroes of faith I do prove my love for God, and I was right.  It's just that this passage meant a lot more than just studying Spiritual stuff, the truth is that it applies to every part of our lives, spiritual, intellectual, academic, marital, psychological, and even physical aspects.  Putting it simply if people see that you have more knowledge or wisdom on all subject matters they respect you and admire you for it and they are already respecting and admiring God your maker indirectly.  They will try to find the source of your unique depth of knowledge, wisdom, charisma or whatever it is they find attractive about you at that point you can easily tell them it's all
