This broadcast is dedicated to my earthly father Fikremariam Million who passed away 25 years ago. I likewise dedicate this to all men and women who know the pains the void of a father who either work too hard or who play around too much well.
Despite our experiences with our parents, may we remember that we have a heavenly Father who is always with us and our parents, if they are not here anymore, are with Him.
The beauty of life is that we have endless second chances. The biggest second chance we get is to mend our childhood through our own children. Remember this above all, heal on your own and don’t project your traumas on your children. They come into this world a blank slate, no need to paint your pains on them.
What you missed growing up, give to them but don’t overcompensate lest your children end up being hurt in reverse and the generational traumas that put families in bondage is passed on as an inheritance no child deserves.
To that end, Father God, I am eternally grateful for my son Yohannes, I pray I heal so I can be a good father to him as you are the greatest Father to me. Amen.
“And I will do whatever you ask in my name, so that the Father may be glorified in the Son.” ~ John 14:13
