I Hugged My Dad!!!

April 1, 2010

I know that sounds normal to most of you, but not for me and my dad. As far as I can remember, I have never hugged him properly, barely, so it doesn’t count.

Basically, me and my dad didn’t have a good relationship. So that made our communication was really poor. Lots of misunderstanding, resentment, and anger towards each other. But God is a relational person, and he always want to see relationship restores, no matter what. Thank God that he is relational.

It was happened (I Hugged My Dad) 2 days ago. He was planning to go on a business trip outside the city for a day, and we were all praying together for his safety and God’s guidance. When we were praying, I felt like God told me to hug my dad after prayer. I was hesitating and afraid. But the impression was so strong.

And I just did it! I hugged my dad, PROPERLY, for the first time in my life!!!! He was confused, but didn’t say anything about it. But right after that, I felt it, in my spirit, breakthrough in our relationship has happened!!!! Praise God! I wish that I had done it waaay earlier, like 5 yrs ago! But still, God is good, all the time, and all the time.

Since that day, our relationship has never be the same again! I don’t feel the barriers between us no more!!!! So free, like father and son, just the way it is. So beautiful!!! Like me and God the Father… Aaaaaaaargh!!! I am sooooo happpy!!!!!

FYI, we are facing financial struggles right now, and I STILL believe that God cares more about our character’s development rather than giving us HUGE money to pay our debt. Well, from breakthrough to breakthrough, we will see how great is our God!!

Thank you for all of you out there for praying and still praying for our family. It works guys, it works! I love it!

Also, I would love to pray for you too. Let me know, if there are anything I could pray for you!

Love and Blessings,

Ericko

    @ Lety, Thaaank you so much! Yeah, praise God!
    We are still trying hard to sell our properties here, please keep praying for favour. Also trying to negotiate with the bank for extended time to pay the debt until we sold the properties.

    @ Jaime, Thank you!

  4. Hi Erick:

    Could you enlighten me? Please go to Psalm 139:8,9 (the last verses) and please tell me what the expression “throwing children to the walls” means? Sometimes atheists use this verses to confuse us christians and I wonder what’s the meaning of these verses.
    Thanks a lot! (I’ll pray for you as well).
    Jaime
