My Dad Left Me My Heavenly Father Found Me

I remember dad tucking me into bed each night. I somehow knew "everything was going to be allright." The Bible stories he had read. Each night before I went to bed. I remember the smile dad had on his face. It was like "love all over the place." Then one night. he left. I didn't know why. The many nights I'd lay awake and would cry. How could this happen? I was so sad. I became very upset, angry and mad. How could God let this happen to our family? I thought dad loved us and was happy. He never returned. Never did explain. I began to curse even the mention of his name. Then one day I read the Bible and began to see. How much Jesus really does love me! I asked him to be the father of my life today. I'll never forget the words he had to say; "I'll be with you each step that is taken." I love you so much... You're never forsaken!" Jesus... my heavenly father, has given me love so precious. I have a relationship with him... that's so nutritious! My dad left me. My (heavenly) father found me. And now each day... His love surrounds me! By JIm Pemberton 03/28/09
