I Hated My Father!
- Jisoo Oh, Hanmaum Church -
Our family went through a very hard time after we lost money. But what made things harder for me was how my dad changed. My dad used to be such a devoted husband and father, but now he drank almost everyday and fought with my mom. Those fights always ended in talks of divorce. My dad's change was traumatic for me. Everyday, I wondered, "Will my parents fight today?" and I desperately hoped that they wouldn't. I was always nervous and anxious, so much so that I had three to four terrible stomach aches a day.
God told me that, because Jesus was my Lord, I had already become someone who loved my dad. This became so clear to me through the resurrection of Jesus. My old self, who couldn't love my dad, was dead on the cross with Jesus, and I was a new creation who loves my dad! This was because Jesus rose from the dead and was my Lord! I had become someone who could love my dad with all my heart!
