Healing Parent Wounds

“Honor [esteem, value as precious] your father and your mother [and be respectful to them]—this is the first commandment with a PROMISE— so that it may be well with you, and that you may have a long life on the earth.” ‭‭Ephesians 6:2‬-3 AMP‬‬ Our pain tells us lies. The devil convinced me for years that I was an exception to the rule, that I didn’t have to honor my parents because they had abused me for most of my life. I desperately wanted God to heal my heart and family dynamic, but my personal feelings towards them kept getting in the way. The truth is, if we want the Lord to do His part, we have to do ours. Staying angry may sometimes feel like our only way of getting justice, but it’s not. Friend, real justice is living completely FREE from that burden in Jesus name! The Lord isn’t expecting us to forgive all at once. He just wants us to WANT TO, to try. If we can get our hearts into a place of surrender, He will help us with the rest. God has amazing plans for you - plans to heal you, help you, and return all that has been stolen. But, to reach this abundant life, there’s a road you have to take that’s narrow and tough... and requires you to forgive, even the unforgivable. Join me today as I talk about healing parent wounds, and the miracles God can work through us and for us when we are willing to show grace. Love, - Kelly
