Matthew 10: 37 He that
loveth father or mother more than Me is not worthy of Me: and he that loveth
son or daughter more than Me is not worthy of Me.
39 He that findeth his life shall lose it: and he that loseth his life
for My sake shall find it.
I went to get the mail yesterday. I started slitting the backs of the envelopes to make it easier to remove the contents within all the envelopes. Well, I opened up this envelope that had some paperwork for my dad' s former house. It brought it all back...not as bad, though, but it did.
The reason that I know it did, was that I was edgy the rest of the afternoon and was a little impatient with others. I have wonderful memories of my dad, so why would I be so edgy and impatient?
When I prayerfully contemplate this, I realize that I miss my dad dearly. I think I keep myself busy, so that I don't focus on my sense of loss as much, although I don't deliberately do that. I guess, it shows that I haven't healed as much as I had hoped. What I need to do is to turn my feelings of loss over to the hands of my Heavenly Father, because He along can take away that pain, although I have been trying to hide it. Although I love my dad dearly, I love Christ more and need to trust Him to heal my aching heart.
