Читать книгу Shadows of the Cross - Craig Cashwell - Страница 6

Self-destructive behavior can put us on the path to a miserable life. It takes real spiritual maturity to admit we have gone down the wrong path.

Review the Parable of the Prodigal Son (Luke 15:11–32), a story that reminds us that God always wants us to come back to Him, no matter where we have gone or what we have done.

Comparing your story to that of Samantha and the Prodigal Son, reflect on the following questions:

•How do these stories relate to your personal situation?

•Where are you in your desire to change? Are you willing to "return home"?

•Are you willing to walk through the painful steps of recovery before you can find the "peace that surpasses all understanding" (Philippians 4:7)?
