So much pain, so much sorrow, so much disappointment.
For me own sanity, I have had to let go with love and give them to God. When I feel sad, confused and sometimes resentful, I remind myself of the parable of the prodigal son. I find comfort in knowing God has a plan.
God Bless Seek
Could you please tell me what the point of the story of the Prodigal Son is? I looked it up a few times and it just sounded really sadistic to me. Or was that the story of Job and how he was tortured by God for no apparent reason. I may have gotten the two stories mixed up. But I seriously would like to know if there was anything good that came out of those parables.
