Something that I'm going to give to someone for a
Christmas gift is "a big hug."
Yes.. I'm going to hug my dad. I've been in
a hard relationship with him. Jesus came to the world for forgiveness.
That's why I have to forgive my father. Cos God has forgiven me. I'm
going to hug him and tell him that I love him.
Well, my dad cheated my mom and I knew it. And only me. One day he came to my place with "her" while I was out. I don't live with my parents now (I live in a boarding house). And I found out at the and what happened when I got home. It really hurt me so much that I couldn't cry. I love my mom so deep! And knowing someone you love being hurt is like....... I can't describe it.
I never call him father since.
I just called his name.
I didn't want to speak or meet him.
Actually, my brother, sister, and mom don't really know what is happening between me and my dad.
But...
One night, on Christmas Eve, while I was sitting in the church, my pastor at church shared about the Unconditional Love. Love with no expectation: the love of God.
That's what have changed me that I have to forgive my dad. (Actually, I have forgiven my dad when I heard this sermon, but Love isn't just about saying the words, right? It needed an action!)
At the end, on Christmas, I did hug my dad and said I love him.
There, I heard him saying to me "I am sorry."
