What does it take to leave home
for the last time never to come
back again?
What sort of situations will cause
a family member to start making
their planned escape away from
their family of origin?
Most young people plan on moving
away to pursue their dreams whether
that means going to college or to
get their own place.
The adventure of living on your
own is quite natural, in fact, it's
normal to do so.
Luke 15:11-13
And He said, "A man had two sons.
[v12] The younger of them said
to his father, 'Father, give me
the share of the estate that falls
to me.' So he [the Father] divided
his wealth between them. [v13] And
not many days after the younger son
gathered all together, and took his
journey into a far country, and
there wasted his substance with
riotous living."
The younger son seemed to be in a
big hurry to start his adventure of
living the good life filled with
a lifestyle without rules, restrictions
or expectations. He was able to do
whatever he wanted and didn't have
to concern himself about it since
he moved far away to a distant
country.
The young man's riotous or reckless
living did not last too long. He was
able to spend it all with nothing in
reserve.
