Families are complicated. Sometimes closer ties are forged by shared experiences than can ever be wrought by genetics. God only knows the true heart of a person, the motive of every action. Or reaction. Some times forgiveness is the hardest thing to come by. The best thing but still hard to grant and often harder to ask for. I learned early in my life that I will never fit in with most of my biological family. For a variety of reasons. Some are faults of mine, others theirs. We are each a child of God and perfectly imperfect. My only judge is my father in Heaven. My only salvation is the blood of Jesus. My heart is not pure. I harbor resentments and hold fast to past hurts. Im a sinner and I dont hide it. Im not seeking glorification or absolution from anyone. Ill have that one sweet day. that is the promise that will never be broken so long as I trust and have faith. There is no greater joy than that. No reassurance more powerful than the peace that steals over me when I go to my God in prayer. Or when in the confusion and chaos of a normal day, I feel a gladness, just an amazing surge of grace and my child smiles at me. Its simple. God gives us the people and situations that draw us to Him. We just have to walk.
