So I was recently up late watching a Netflix movie and came across this one..."Life of a King." It is truly an inspiring story. It reminded me of a part of my own life. The main character is Euguene Brown played by Cuba Gooding Jr, his interaction with his son really struck me. I think the reason is because it reminded me of how my relationship was with my Father. After high school I had so much anger and hurt inside, when my Dad reached out to me seeking my forgiveness and love I refused to give him the time of day. There were actually a few instances where I lashed out at him. It wasn't till I came to a point where I surrendered my life to Jesus that I understood forgiveness. Today I am happy to announce I have a wonderful relationship with my Father. We had some honest conversations and Jesus has done an amazing healing in both our lives. I love him dearly and an grateful for him. The fact that I was pretty much raised without a Father has allowed my to identify and sympathize with those experiencing it as well. It has also given me a stronger resolve to be there for my boys. I am grateful that Jesus loves to redeem past circumstances and situations of pain and difficulty and transform them into wisdom and compassion.
