I knew that having a father say "i love you" or "i call you out to be the person God created you to be" was a good thing, but tonight i realized the importance of it.
All throughout my teenage years i had been known as being rather compassionate, and recently my heart has been breaking for what breaks God's heart. I have loved my father through his brokenness and his sin. Since i was 15 i held in all the pain my father put me through. I heard him say "i love you" but i dont really think he meant it. And i've never heard him ever bless me for the woman i've become. Many times my father chose something else over me. It hurts.
Tonight Recie Saunders stepped out on a feeling from God and ministered to every intern that had been fatherless or "wrongly fathered". He had all the interns who had been raised with good dads on one side of the room and the others who had been less fortunate on the opposite side. I was on the less fortunate side. Recie called each person on the less fortunate side one by one to come forth. The other interns joined. Recie then began to break as God's heart did for each person, as he gave them the fathers blessing and wrote off all shame and rejection.
This act brought healing to not only me but many other interns. i feel so much lighter and important. God is so great, and everyday i am finding it impossible to not believe He exists. I love the Lord Jesus Christ and i want all of blogworld to know it. Praise be to the King!
