Through him, everything can be seen so...2022-09-2433 minThe Light PointChapter 3: The Prodigal DaughterTo be Prodigal is to be lavish, reckless, or wasteful. While I may not have been prodigal with my resources, like many young people, I was prodigal with my opportunity to have a relationship with God. Because I thought of salvation as a one-time event instead of a life-long process, when certain things started to go wrong in my life, when I still had toxic behaviors, shame, loneliness, depression, anxiety, I accepted my brokenness as how things had to be instead of tracing the root of my issue to my lack of relationship with God.
