What if the kid you have been sending to school got into bad company and now seems to have a bleak future ahead of him? Should you consider it as a waste of time, money and effort? It is so easy to think of how the money could have been otherwise used.
I was told no. The investment was given to him in good faith so that he could have a better future. If he overcomes this hurdle and learns a lesson, he could still someday use what he had learned.
Another question arises though. When does one stop helping? Should there be a limit and after that, give up? It is hard to decide.
What we can only do is pray for him and let God intervene. There was a learning in this experience. For both the giver and the receiver.

ahhh yes. I am familiar with this sort of situation. It is never a waste to invest time and money in other people. You stop investing when it appears that you are being used as a doormat or as an undrainable bank account but never totally give up on people. All of this is "OF course" with the guidance/counseling of the Holy Spirit.
