His temper may get the best of him most of the time but I thank God that my parents are married to each other. Why? Because where my dad isn't able, my mum is. Where he loses control, my mum is able to keep her cool and think and act with a clear head.
Both of them are stubborn people. But that didn't stop them from coming together to talk about it like grown-ups after each conflict. It takes extraordinary Power to pull two people who easily repels each other back together. I admire my dad most when he can admit his wrongs and put down his 'man pride' to apologize. To his wife and to his children. He might not be ready to forgive many other things, but I'm praying every time that I can, that God will keep softening his heart day by day. Let the revelation of His love come to him that he'll one day fully let God to help him forgive.
Forgiveness is what everyone needs because everyone makes mistakes. It might be easy for him to find forgiveness where there is mutual love, like in a family. It's hard to open up for healing to take place in certain areas though, when anger and pride has the upper hand in it. By himself, it is next to impossible to let that happen. But when he has seen and believed what God had done to forgive the ugly sins of human, I believe it will make him know that it's only natural and right to forgive others.
So here's my prayer, that God's love will change him. For no one does a better 'heart surgery' than He does. I hope to see him becoming a Godly father by God's strength. And I will give my best to support and encourage him whenever I can. I pray that you will love God with all your heart again, Pa. Let him hold and control your life and see His wonders unfold. You can do it, Pa. You can do it.
