Prodigal, part 2

It’s early 2013. Delhi, India. And I’m standing at the bathroom sink. Crying out to the Father. Again.

I can see the marble counter. The dingy mirror. Remember the blur of anguish. Helplessness.

“What are we to do, Lord? How do we help our son?”

The Lord has already made two things clear to me in that season (as detailed in Prodigal, Part 1).

1. Wait. Wait on the Lord.
2. Devote yourself to prayer.

Now I’m standing on the tile floor, in evening shadows. Pleading.

My reading this week is First Peter. An epistle I’m drawn to. Often.

Perhaps because it addresses those living in exile. Aliens. Temporary residents in foreign lands.

These are pockets of believers living out the gospel away from their passport country.

Away from large gatherings of the Body of Christ.
