The prodigal son is a biblical example of a man who said, “enough is enough”. Nobody chased him away from his home. Nobody taught him what to do, but on his own, he went to his father and asked for his portion of the wealth. The wealth belonged to his father and not to him. He had the guts and boldness to ask for it. He created his own problems and when the problems overwhelmed him, he started looking everywhere for help. His situation brought him down to the level where he could not even eat the food that was given to swine. What a shame!
"However when He, the Spirit of truth, has come, He will guide you into all truth; for He will not speak on His own authority, but whatever He hears He will speak; and He will tell you things to come." John 16:13
“And Abraham said to his young men, 'Stay here with the donkey; the lad and I will go yonder and worship, and we will come back to you'” (Genesis 22:5).
“For to this you were CALLED, because Christ also suffered for us, leaving us an example, that you should follow His steps” – 1 Peter 2:21
