prodigal son
I am doing a report on the Parable of the Prodigal Son (which is due tomorrow) and I am struck by how wayward I can become sometimes. The sins that I commit are so far from the path that I try to walk that it fills me with grief after I commit them. I think it is interesting how that regret for committing a certain sin comes right after you commit it, prompting the need for prayer and asking for forgiveness. It's good to know that I have that solace, where I can go to and raise up my sins to.I had a dream last night that gave me some grief. I apologize for what I am about to do (I'm gonna pull out the vague card). In this dream I had a conversation with someone I love dearly. This person did not understand why or how much my love extended. * told me that there were many other people that I loved just as much, and at that moment, I broke down and said what I really want to say (not just in my dreams). I started to cry and tell this person that I loved them so much, and if this person actually talked to me, they would know. For some, it will be too easy to understand who this person is, and in a sense I am ashamed of what I said. Why? Well, because what I said in the dream is true, but in reality I have been trying to move away from this fact, to live without this person so close to me. Is it wrong for me to dwell on this, even though I have been trying to move steadily away?

It's only wrong from a goal perspective if you constantly dwell on it. If you are moving steadily away, you should not be thinking about that person as much as you would have before.

we are told not to have anxiety over anything for the Lord will take care of all of His children (which that you are). however, i totally understand the way you feel and i can totally relate with what you are going through. i go through it every day. its a never ending cycle. isnt it great to know that we can call upon God as Abba, Father, our Daddy? even as i type this i realize how out of check i am with him at this time and how i need to come back to the heart of worhsip. ill pray for you bro, and please pray for me.
