My Son Was Lost But Now He is Found…..
By doveflight
What a great day when lost loved ones return home. What a day of rejoicing that will be. Parents of adult children (AC) in SSA must not be discouraged and must not give up on their loved ones. The parent must understand that this struggle can take time and is often not a overnight experience. In dealing with the AC know that if they are a Christian that has fallen into this situation the Holy Spirit will do the convicting of sin. Continue to pray for them and put them on prayer list. Continue to love them unconditionally. Live out a Holy life before them. Get yourself in a support group that can encourage you in your walk. Do not give up on them returning to the Lord.

Thanks for these encouraging words. Sometimes, I just want to give up…I grow weary and just want to walk away. But, I know this is the wrong attitude…the evil one would love for me to give up on my sweet daughter. Words like the ones above remind me that there will be an end to this struggle. God has not forgotten about our family, and He is working out things behind the scenes for all our benefit and edification. Someday, my daughter is going to minister to other young women caught in this web. I know it.

I am reminded of the prodical son. How his father’s heart must have been broken. Spending time with his faithful son yet longing for that one that was lost. Having two children of my own I know how it feels when one is doing well and the other is not wallking with the Lord. Sometimes it can be both of them going their own way and choosing their own path. But we keep waiting for them and praying for them to come back home to the Father. I am also reminded about the lost coin and how the woman searched the whole house until she found it. The same way is the love of God. He keeps drawing us and wooing us back to himself.
Lord Jesus I pray for Susie’s daughter right now that you will touch her heart and minster life to her spirit let the word that is with in her heart be stirred up. Father I pray that she will not be content until she returns to you. That every place that she turns she will be convicted by you gentle spirit wooing her. Bless this mother and give her strength and patience. Let her know Father that it is not what she sees with the natural eye. It is the spritual eye that matters. Your word says we wrestle not with flesh and blood but with principalities and powers and rulers in dark places. Lord we know when you died on that cross if Susie’s daughter was the only one in the world you would have still died for her. Touch her Lord and her lover. Draw them to you and set them both free. In Jesus Name Amen
