It's been over 10 years since my dad was murdered in cold blood and the case is still ongoing. The more I understood His heart for me, the more I could give THAT to my dad because with love, you can give love.
Can't pour out of an empty cup, right?
Many people had their fair share of opinions of my dad. And id be lying if i told some of the nasty things people said about him werent true. He was an incredibly difficult person to be around...
Even though that may have been the case, God taught me how to forgive through restoring our relationship before that happened over that time span ago.
There were many thoughts rushing through my head when I got that official call about his passing, but what I can confidently say is this...
No matter what you're going through...
No matter what you've done....
No matter who you've hurt....
No matter what's been done to you....
No matter what you have in the works and no mater what you coulda-woulda-shoulda-done better...
None of that matters because the price Jesus' blood paid was far greater than the mistakes you made...
God loves you outside of everything you coulda-woulda-shoulda-done better... God loves towards is based on something entirely outside of yourself and there's nothing you can do about it.
The more I understood His heart for me, the more I could give THAT to my dad because with love, you can give love.
Can't pour out of an empty cup, right?
I share this as me raising my hand to say someone out there and simply say...
You're. Not. Alone.
... even if it feels that way, sometimes. You're NOT.
