Testify Monday
I spent 44 years praying that my earthly father would want to be in my life, and that he would begin to love me. Well, as always, not in my time, but God's time, my prayer was answered. My oldest brother passed away in June of 2008, God used his death, to make some major changes in my fathers heart, and life. Through mourning, came healing. My father got saved, and baptized, and started being the father I had always dreamed of, and prayed for. We are now very close, we are not just father and daughter, we are also close friends. I love him so very, very much. And, I can honestly, and very happily say, that he loves me too. Praise God for answered prayer, and precious blessings.

What a beautiful healing post Denise. Touched me, thank you.
How wonderful that your father came to know God, even if there were so many years lost here. But eternity is a long time. Blessings!
OOPS...forgot to tell you: THANK YOU for your prayers, encouragement, and support. You will NEVER know how much they mean to me.

This is truly inspiring. My biological father lives life in his own world....I praise GOD for your answered prayer...maybe one day, my father will decide to be a Dad, too.

I love how God changes people and circumstances. I'm very happy for you!
Denise,
I think this is the wish of every daughter of an unbelieving father. How God can change them from the inside out and give us the opportunity to catch a glimpse of what our heavenly Father is really like.
Congratulations as well for winning my P.F. Chang giveaway.

Amazing and beautiful post, Denise! Praise God!!! It gives me hope to keep on praying for my brother, too. We are close, but he is not saved. (He and my nephew are coming for their annual 2-week visit in a couple of weeks.) Thanks for sharing, dearie!
