I remember growing up, I got into trouble all the time. I was so rebellious. I was the mischievous one. I still am in a sense-just different now. As it goes, "I was one way, and now I'm completely different."
I didn't like correction. I ran as far and as fast as I could away in any direction contrary to it. This perception led me to making many mistakes. The mistakes then grew into bad decisions. It's one thing to make a mistake, but continue making the same mistakes and they become bad decisions that lead to poor heart posture. Had I listened, I'm sure I could have avoided years of unnecessary pain. Not just myself. Accepting correction would have prevented years of hurting the ones I love.
It's not fair. It always seems to be that the good ones always get hurt the most, to include the ones closest to them. But there is grace. Love covers a multitude of sins. One of the best ways to serve God is to care for family and the ones you love. I can tell you from personal experience, when you turn away from the crooked ways and start walking in "The Way", forgiveness floods in. Not just from Jesus, but for self. And not just for self, but from others.
I encourage you to have a relationship with the Father and to reconcile yourself to him. I encourage you to shift from the ways of this world and return to your first love. Reach out in faith and reach out to family. You may be pleasantly surprised of what you may find. I love you. God is with you. Shalom Shalom
