Good Morning!! God's Word offers hope to sons and daughters who have been handed down
dysfunctional pain. First, God is fair. He "judges each man's work
impartially." Children raised by an abusive or neglectful father often
have an incorrect view of God, imagining Him to be like their earthly
father. The good news is our heavenly Father is perfect and fair. However, God's impartiality does not take away our personal
responsibility. Although genetic inheritance and social surroundings may
influence us,...they do not eliminate our responsibility to God.
Since you call on a Father who judges each person’s work impartially, live out your time as foreigners here in reverent fear.—1 Peter 1:17 (NIV)
We have
the freedom, and responsibility, to make our own choices. We are not
locked into our earthly father's way of life,...even if we have been raised by a dysfunctional or abusive earthly father. No matter what our background, God has given us a choice. Will you continue that dysfunctional pattern
in your life? Or will you choose to break out of that futile lifestyle
and build your life on the foundation of God's love and righteousness?
"Choose today whom you will serve....But for me and my family, we will serve the Lord"
Joshua 24:15 NLT.
Joshua 24:15 NLT.
Father, we thank You that You are perfect and fair. And we
thank You that You have given us the privilege, and responsibility, to choose how we will live. We choose to follow You. Help us serve You faithfully,...and make wiser choices day by day. Amen.
"Nothing tell other that we're Christian like; our giving and
forgiving."
