Special Gift: A Big Hug for My Dad

Shared by Dan
 
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."
