‘A Wayward Son Or Daughter.’

Chris.
I meet many parents who struggle greatly because of their wayward son or daughter. I believe strongly that God wants to comfort these parents so that they can have His Heart for their children. Anger is a fruit and there may seem many justifiable reasons for the parents of wayward children to be angry but this kind of anger does not solve anything – it only makes it worse.
