This blog post is a Christian parable. If you are offended by something like this, please feel free to come back when I post the next satire story.

The Prodigal Lamb combines two of Jesus’ parables: The Prodigal Son, (Luke 15:11-32), and the Lost Sheep, (Matthew 18:10-14.)

I have been blessed.

I have been given a job and an income my whole life.

I have been given a strong body and health.

I have been given a family who loves me and grandchildren to love.

I have been given friends who have stayed close through the years.

I have been given all that I need: food, clothing, vehicles, and a warm home.

I have been given talents: music, writing, creating.

I have been given assurance of everlasting life.

Though I may go through great trials, I have been given the assurance that I will wake up the next day and in all the days of my life, God will not once leave me.

And yet, I am a shell. I am absolutely nothing.

I am only what God has given me and what he has made me.

To God be the glory!

A wonderful, Godly, woman friend of mine shared with me a message she had received in a deep conversation with her Lord. She was asking for guidance in a situation which was causing her much heartache. She pleaded with the Lord to guide her down the right path. God’s Holy Spirit came to her during this time of deep prayer. He opened her eyes to the reality that God was not just guiding her down a path.

The Lord Jesus is my shepherd. I lack for nothing!

He makes me lie down in green pastures.

He leads me beside still waters.

He gives me rest and he restores my soul.

He guides me on the paths of righteousness that I might make him proud.

Do you ever feel underused by God? Like everyone else is being used in mighty ways and your job is to sit and watch.

“What’s the matter with me? Why don’t I get the gifts?” you ask.

Ah, but there is only one “you” and what God has given you is extremely specific and to be used in a specific way when he needs it.
