I’ve been reflecting on the prodigal son and what made him take his inheritance, leave home, and waste it on reckless living. Would he have lived the same way if he had stayed home? Why did he have to go far to lose his principles? Coming from a strict Jewish home, perhaps he sought freedom, but if his values were strong, distance would not have changed him. Living far from Ghana, I see a similar challenge in myself. If I truly built good character, it should show wherever I am. Valuing the discipline I was raised with means that reckless living should feel wrong. The prodigal son reminds me that core values do not change with location; they are tested by it and should thrive in any place.
