So beautifully written. Makes me want to hold my prodigals in my arms and lavish my love in them

Just watched the video of you & your mom on the front porch…. This is the first of your writings I’ve read. And I’m deeply moved. Thank you for sharing your heart. It’s a courageous act.

Goodness! So true in so many ways!! If we could only see through the eyes of the prodigal!! This is what I see in my prodigal! It shatters my heart because I can’t fix it!! He has so much hurt!! I know God had speared him so many times and I know it’s because God is so merciful!!

I love all three of these letters, but this one resonates the most with me. When my wife left the first time, she told me she didn't love me anymore. When she came back the first time, she told me that actually she never stopped loving me. She told me that every time she would drive by my apartment (which used to be ours) she would look for my car. She told me she was happy if I was home, but sad if I was gone. I remember that, and reading this letter in my beloved's voice and changing the end to say "Love, Your Kelsey" reminds me that we fight not against flesh and blood, and that this is not who my wife truly is. I know who she is. This is not her! I stand for her restoration to jesus! It is only in the freedom of Christ where she will find who she truly is.
