I Hate when I show my Disappointments
12 Jul 2011 1 Comment
I sometimes allow my hurt or disappointments show. I don’t brag about that. As a matter of fact I really hate when that happens.
So I’m reading the story of the Prodigal Son. And this time I’m thinking about the pain and hurt, disappointment and shame, that the father must have experienced. The grief and agony of realizing that over the years he had poured himself into that boy only to be dumped.
I am relating to this father in a major way. I am grimacing at his loss.
Not one word of despair is recorded. Not to his servants or friends. Not to his other son. Not to his wife.
And then, the boy comes home! The father rejoices. It appears that the father’s heart is bursting with joy and now he tells everybody.
My son is home….I have missed him….I am so thrilled that he has come back home.
And suddenly…..I saw a picture of God and how He rejoices as the prodigal comes some.
I am so happy to be serving Him. Loving the journey.

Great Thought, people are always aware of their pain, but seldom think of the pain they cause others, I think this is especially true for God, Pastors and Parents. People hurt them ALL the time and never give it a thought. For pastors, when people talk about them , fail to support the church, and make light of the importance of the Ministry.
Appreciate the thought and enjoy your Blogs Dr. Kuschel
