Feeling led to comment on Father’s Day…

I know for some, actually many people, a deep sorrow because of a dad/father who’s gone absent or was never there for you at all. It is a very sad thing.

I am so deeply sorry for your pain and heartache. And, if you are a father who lives with regret for wrong choices, missed opportunities, etc., don’t live in regret, or run from your problems any more. If it’s drugs, alcohol, sex, gambling, workaholism, fear, self-doubt, self-hatred…whatever has a stronghold on you – you can be free from it (women too).

There are excellent, and free, programs all over – Celebrate Recovery, Alcoholics Anonymous, Alcoholics Victorious, Narcotics Anonymous…reach out and ask for help. You are not alone, there is help. You are loved. You can be whole. Your children and families need you.

Men were created to protect and provide. We are all created in the image and likeness of God – the lies we believe about ourselves and God can lead us astray and get us on a path of destruction and confusion. Leading us to believe the lie that we are hopeless and that there is now way out. God is a God of U-Turns – He is always faithful and His promises are always true. Jesus is the Way, The Truth and The Life – and He LOVES YOU

So, don’t let pride, lies, past mistakes define you and keep you locked in a prison of shame – Jesus holds the key to your freedom http://ow.ly/i/5OpK4 http://ow.ly/i/5OpNp
