Okay, so things with my Dad, I know you know how that is.. but this morning we were talking about Michael and about Michaels real dad, i dont remember his name so.. hah.
But.. I was telling my Dad how I would like to kick him if I ever met him, and you wanna know what he said to me.. he said now Makenzie, what would Jesus to.. and I know that me saying that i would wanna kick his Dad isn't really the Christian thing for me to do, and that i should love him no matter what and all of that (which I have been praying for, and I have been praying for a change in his heart) But really Dad. You know my Dad has a drinking problem and a cussing problem.. and I just wanted to say "dad, what does god say about drinking and cussing" But I didn't.. that just really annoyed me what he said.. because he is being so hypocritical.. and me and you both hate that more than anything.. I mean we talk about it all the time, how much it gets under our skin. My Dad barely believes in God.. so he uses it against me? I don't get that.. whatever.
I know I have to pray for strength to not have a cold heart againts Mikes Dad.. it's just really hard with all the mean things he says to him, and all the horrible things that he has put him through.. so pray for me too please.
I gotta clean my room, apparently that's what Jesus would do.

Mak..I am always praying for you in that situation. While what he says is true, you should always think about what the christian thing to do would be, it was a totally hypocritical thing to say.
ReplyDeleteI think what you should try and do, is put aside everything that your dad does and try to look at him through Christs eyes. Just love him anyways. Maybe even appriciate the fact that it would even cross his mind to try to do something Christlike.
Things are always easier said then done. Even though he doesn't apply it to his life. It seems like he realizes thats what you want with your life. don't read to far into it and just take it for its best. Pray for him to realize thats what he needs to do in his life.
I pray for you and your family all the time. :)
Thanks Harper.. its just really hard.. like I dunno.. I guess I do need to pray for God to help me see my father from his eyes, that's what i will doo. Thanks deary.
