The past couple of weeks I’ve been calling upon the Lord to continue to fill the void in me that’s there due to the lack of relationship with my parents. This situation is nothing new to me. It’s just that sometimes it affects me more than other times. It’s been my experience that with some issues I’m healed in one moment and with other healing takes place over time. I believe that this is how the Lord is not only continuing to heal me and make me stronger in this matter, but also growing my trust in Him as my Heavenly Father.
Just last night, I hit my knees and was crying out to the Lord about this. I just love that I can tell Him anything on my heart and He is here listening attentively with understanding and compassion for me. He has never failed me.
…weeping may endure for a night, but joy comes in the morning. Psalm 30:5
This scripture is so very comforting…and true. The joy I felt the next morning was indescribable. God is so faithful and His word is truth!
This same morning, I went on to church and the words spoken by a guest speaker were; “Your Heavenly Father loves you and is proud of you.” I was so moved. I needed to hear this. His timing is so perfect! It was continued healing for me in this situation…I am grateful! You see, I’ve never heard those words from my earthly father. Yes, it does hurt, but I’ve learned to take this to God and let him fill that void in my life. And when He does this, not only do I feel better, I am stronger and trust Him even more. It also allows me to have a growing compassion for my dad. He only acts this way because he, himself, is hurting and hasn’t been healed.
No matter what the issues are in your life, God will see you through it if you call upon Him for help. Jesus is the Way, the Truth and the Life. John 14:6 He came that we may have life and have it more abundantly. (See John 10:10) Trust Him with all things in your life. He will not fail you and He truly cares about every detail of your life…no matter how great or small.
