Jim reads from Mark 11:25-30 and shares some thoughts. He also shares his personal story of his father wounds, and shares some of his journey to find healing from them. Here are three quotes that Jim shared during the episode: Every man carries a wound, and the wound is nearly always given by his father. (John Eldridge) Choose Wisely We have no power to stop the evil choices made by another person. But I have the power to choose to do good. I have the power to choose kindness. I have the power to choose hope. I have the power to choose generosity. I have the power to choose to forgive. I have the power to choose to love. And I, and every person ever born, have this power of choice in all that we do, as a gift given by the One Eternal God. "... I have set before you life and death, blessings and curses. Now choose life, so that you and your children may live and that you may love the LORD your God, listen to his voice, and hold fast to him. For the LORD is your life..." - Deuteronomy 30:19–20 "Since we live by the Spirit, let us keep in step with the Spirit." - Galatians 5:25 "[God] is able to do immeasurably more than all we ask or imagine, according to his power that is at work within us…" - Ephesians 3:20 What will you do with your power to choose? (Sylane Mack) A trusted counselor helps readers move from heartache to joy as they overcome the wounds from a missing, abusive, or absent father. (H. Norman Wright) We also suggested during this episode that our listeners contact CCEF if counseling is needed. Their phone number is 215-884-7676.
