She hated him for how he treated her and her siblings. He would drink until he became drunk, then came the verbal abuse.
That is story of 16 year old Sarah.
In another house not very far away, 17 year old Jack is being told that he must be on his own when he gets to age 18.
He is scared and tormented by the fear of being driven out in the world too soon.
There are many untold stories of very unfortunate experiences with fathers.
The irony, many hurting children grow up and cause similar hurts to their children and spouse.
When does this vicious cycle ends?
Yes daddy was wrong, he was far from being perfect. But what good is there in treating him as he deserves? When do we start healing the world by touching one heart at a time?
When we have the opportunity to show others a better way of life we should always jump at it. Even though you might still be hurting, by choosing to forgive, you have made the first deposit towards settling your own healing bill.
FORGIVE, then start to experience a better quality of life.
Wealth determines what we can afford in life, but wisdom determines the quality. - Dr, J.D. Gordon www.jermainedgordon.com
