The Prodigal Fertile Daughter

Imagine that there was a Modern Day Infertility Version of the Holy Bible. Perhaps the story of the Prodigal Son would read something like this…

And Jesus said, “A man had two daughters. The younger demanded her inheritance early so the father divided his wealth between them.

“The younger daughter gathered everything together and ran away from home. She lived a wild lifestyle, and was totally irresponsible with every gift and blessing she’d ever been given. Before long, trouble ushered her home to Daddy.

“Her Dad was thrilled to see her coming, no matter the condition she was in. As she got closer, he could see her expanding belly, yet noticed no wedding ring on her finger. ‘I guess I’m not the daughter you dreamed I’d be.’ He wrapped his arms around her, wiped her tears and began to make plans for the biggest baby shower ever to welcome his first grandchild.

“As the older daughter pulled in the driveway, she saw her Dad with a very pregnant, very ‘undeserving’ sister. She wouldn’t even get out of the car to approach her long lost sibling. Dad walked over and begged her to come embrace her sister.

“‘But Dad, for years now, I’ve worked in your business, I’ve balanced the books and stocked the shelves. I’ve never told you “no” when you’ve called on me for overtime or asked me to work on holidays. My sister prostitutes herself and you bless her with a shower that you expect me to attend? When will you throw a shower for me?’

“As her tires squealed out of the driveway, the Father looked at his daughter and said, ‘All that I have is yours.’”

Perhaps you’ve wondered why God allows others to conceive, yet withholds blessings from you? Has God run out of miracles just as your number was coming up? When God blesses another person, it does not diminish His ability to bless you. Jesus Christ hasn’t run out of miracles, and His love for you remains as powerful and as strong as when He hung on Calvary’s cross. He has blessings to bestow on you, no matter how He touches another’s life. Don’t let jealousy destroy you in your waiting.

Remember the words of the Father: “All I have is yours.”
