My secret is that I need God because I'm sick and can't survive on my own. I need God to enable me to give because I no longer appear capable of doing so; to be kind because I no longer seem capable of being kind; and to love because I seem incapable of loving.
Jesus related the parable of the prodigal son, in which a son ran away and squandered his inheritance. He took a job caring for pigs once his money was all gone. He'd hit rock bottom. He was sitting there among the pigs, his stomach growling with hunger. He pondered his family, his father, and the workers his father had employed. Following that, "he came to himself" (Lk. 15:17).
My secret is that I am sick and can no longer survive on my own; I need God. I need God to help me give because I don't seem to be able to do it anymore; to help me be kind because I don't seem to be able to be kind; and to help me love because I don't seem to be able to love anymore.
In Jesus' parable of the prodigal son, a young man ran away and squandered his inheritance. He obtained a job caring for pigs when all of his money was gone. He'd reached the bottom. He was sitting there, surrounded by pigs, his stomach growling in famine. He reflected about his family, his father, and his father's hired men. In response, "he came to himself" (Lk. 15:17).
