I was talking with a friend last night and he stated while visiting his Mother who is ill, his Dad looked at them both and said " I'm going to watch T.V. and will let you two ladies sit and visit".......... I thought to myself - ouch! How could a Father speak to his Son that way.
It made me dwell on the TRUTH..... An earthly Father may not love and respect his Son here on earth - BUT OH WHAT A DIFFERENCE A HEAVENLY FATHER MAKES! Our heavenly Father loves us with such an unconditional love that he grants us FULL FORGIVENESS in his Son Jesus Christ! What joy that brings to my heart.
Isn't it wonderful to know and trust that God allows all things for HIS PURPOSE and that he is a GOOD GOD and will turn our disappointments into our BLESSINGS!
The enemy sends things like this into our lives to disappoint us.... cause us to slip backward into despair but the Lord will use our pain to allow his love to shine if we can allow Christ to be greater in us than he that is in the world........
Psalm 16: 7-8
I bless the LORD who gives me counsel;
in the night also my heart instructs me.
I have set the LORD always before me;
because he is at my right hand, I shall not be shaken.
Today I'm trusting that God is near the down cast and broken hearted and that brings peace to my heart!
I am so thankful for my heavenly Father.

Sad to know a father would speak to a son like that. :( Words hurt deep.
ReplyDeleteSo thankful God is with us always. He is especially close to the broken, what comfort.
Amen! Thanks Holly for sharing this with my heart too. I also want to the ladies for posting their comments, which blessed my heart to read them at this diffcult time on my job, as I alway say, BUT GOD!!! He is my heavenly Father, and I am so grateful too. I don't know what I would do without the Lord in my life and my heart today. Thank You Jesus! God bless you Holly, keep sharing.
ReplyDeleteOops, I also want to thank the ladies for sharing.
ReplyDeleteTiffany, I love your blog too!
ReplyDeleteGreat word. I was thinking...do you think the dad may have just wanted the son and mom to have some private time together?
ReplyDeleteI guess I like to think the best.
Blessings~
Susan,
ReplyDeleteI would love to think that as well.......
But from what the gentlemen told me... His Father needs a relationship with the Lord....
God is a big God.... more than able to save! Praying for his salvation for certain!
It makes me so sad to know a father would speek to his son that way. Praying for that family.
ReplyDeleteWords certainly hurt and but I am thankful His Word heals!
ReplyDeleteBless you for sharing!
I too am greatful for such a wonderful Heavenly Father who is always there for us. Your post makes me stop and think, do I ever act like that father in your story? I will pray that God convicts my heart if I do.
