Shepherding in the way he should go....
More from the Prodigal God; The Father knew (knows) those who need to GO and find him. Proverbs 22:6 says we should "train up a child in the way he should go..." The Father knew the younger son needed to go in order to find Him. How true for us as parents. My own experience says I want all my children to stay. That shepherding one of my flock one way should be the same road to shepherding the rest. Oh how I wish it were so! But He has created some to go and others to stay. Holding onto to those meant to go inhibits, maybe even stunts their faith journey. Oh for the wisdom of Solomon to be ever-present with us in guiding us to steward the gift of His children.
