Being a father can be very trying, but it can also be one of
the most fulfilling jobs you will ever have.
You must understand that challenges bring with them great
opportunities for healing and reconnection. You have the ability to interrupt
your children’s stress cycles, and become emotionally safe for your children.
Remember to breathe in and get past your own fear. When you
respond in love you send positive energy to the places that need healing.
Emotional regulation through love promotes healing, and you can help your
children become refreshed at the cellular level.
Your part in the healing process is to bring love, grace,
and forgiveness into your children’s lives. By allowing love, grace, and
forgiveness to flow through you, you help create an environment that is
conducive to healing. You are not responsible for healing, but you are
responsible for helping others on their journey to heal.
Simple? Yes.
Complex and hard to do? Yes.
Perfect love and forgiveness comes only from Jesus through
our relationship with him. Therefore, you must work to get yourself into that
place of love and forgiven
ess, so that can help others.
"It will be a healing for your flesh and refreshment
for your body." Proverbs 3:8
