It is hard to shake our initial feelings, but when we do it, God is faithful to meet us at our point of need.

I had an abusive and neglectful dad and it's only been in the last few years of developing a strong relationship with God that I see He will never leave me and He was there with me all along. I never learned to trust my dad and so trusting God in all my situations has been hard for me...but I'm getting there. For me, just making the decision to believe and have faith has made all the difference...even if I don't "feel" it sometimes...I "know" it. As always, thank you!

I am so happy that you have a present daddy whose arms still remain outstretched, no matter what. May you drink it in deeply and hug that daddy of yours extra hard -- and may that love flow to those around you to bless.

May God continue to bless you and your husband who reflects the grace, affection and conditional love of Father God! You have a powerful testimony of God's goodness. May it flow from you to others, as you share the grace you have received. What a beautiful blessing God has poured out to you, loving you through your husband.
