Childhood Pain

October 12, 2017

Hey, I’m not in a stepfamily. So how come you make so much sense?

 

I’ve become aware that many of you who listen to this daily feature don’t live in a stepfamily but you grew up in one or you’ve lost a parent or you’ve come from a divorced family. And you keep hearing aspects of your life in the things that I talk about. Sometimes that’s good but sometimes it just brings up pain. So what do you do? Well, talk to the Lord about it. Lay it at His feet. Wrestle with forgiveness or what you can do to improve the situation. Childhood pain just stays pain unless you grow through it. You know what? Maybe now’s the time.
