A great example of this quote from Spurgeon is found in Luke 15: 11-32 about the Prodigal son… where the youngest son asks for his inheritance early only to waste it all on a life of extravagance. This story is one of redemption filled with mercy and grace as his father waits for the son to return home. As the dad prayed daily, he held firm in his unconditional love for his boy and trust in God that his son would eventually come to his senses and return. We really don’t know how long the father prayed…it could have been months; it could have been years…but one thing was evident… he never lost heart. (Luke 18:1 & I Thessalonians 5:16-18)
