Stop putting pillows at the bottom of their pit
Are you helping them, or are you just getting in God's way? Let's talk about the hard truth of the Prodigal Son. 🛑📖
Look at Luke 15. When the prodigal son squandered his life, his father didn't chase him down. He didn't send him a Venmo payment or negotiate with the pigs. He let him hit rock bottom.
The text says he only "came to his senses" because he was starving. If the father had sent a care package, the son never would have come home. Sometimes, your "help" is the exact thing preventing their repentance. God is trying to use rock bottom to wake them up, but you keep putting pillows at the bottom of the pit. It's time to step back and let God do His work.
