Psalm 27: ¹⁰Although my father and my mother have forsaken me, yet the Lord will take me up [adopt me as His child].

We are in the middle of Mother’s and Father’s Day where parents are celebrated for the hard work and dedication of raising children. To those who experienced the absence or abuse of a parent(s), this message is for you.

First, forgive your parents. If you were abused by your parent(s) or your parents were not apart of your life the way you felt they should; forgive them. As Christians, we have no right to hold on to the sin another man/woman has done to us (even if they were parents). So forgive. (Mark 11:25)

Secondly, allow the blood of Jesus Christ to cleanse your conscience of all the pain or dead works that the absence or abuse of your parents has brought you. Only the blood of Jesus will make you free from all the hurt, pain, and loneliness of the absence or abuse of a parent. (Hebrews 9:14)

Finally allow God to be everything that you need. If you need a mother or father, let Him be your mother or father. If you need a comforter, let Him be your comforter. If you need a friend, let Him be your friend. God can be everything you need but, you must let Him in. (Revelation 3:20)

If this message was not for you, be a blessing by sending this message to someone who may be dealing with the pain of an abusive or absent parent.
