Revelation 21:4 (NLT)

"He will wipe every tear from their eyes, and there will be no more death or sorrow or crying or pain. All these things are gone forever.”

As a young girl growing up I questioned why my father had to leave, why didn't he want me? what was it about me? why couldn't my parents be married and live together like all the people I desired to be friends with. As I grew older I begun accepting the way things were I told myself that I was fine, that his absence didn't matter. But the way I related to others especially men proved to me that this was not so. I was eventually categorized as a runner, I would leave friendships and relationships first because I did not want to be left and experience that abandonment and rejection I received at such a tender age from my Father. My relationship with my biological Father begun just a few days before my 16th birthday. coming to know my father at that age I did not know how to relate to him but I had questions I wanted answers to, and I also needed to forgive him for leaving me on my mom alone.  The relationship with my father is still not where I would want it to be but I have chosen to forgive him and God has been working it out. I pray that as you listen to this episode you will be inspired and that whatever pain you have been carrying in your heart, will be handed over to God, the one who has the authority and the ability to heal every broken heart.
