A Godly Heritage
Nearly everyone has been exposed to the damage and ungodly heritage can be on someone's life. Often, we hear stories of fathers who beat their children because they themselves were beaten. Many times, women whose mothers were beaten by abusive men often marry men who abuse them.
Children who learn their values in families where alcohol and drugs are a regular part of daily activities grow up to think that abusing drugs is a normal way of life. Each of us has been given the gift called "heritage" by our parents. For most, it has drastically influenced how we think and act.
Some of us have been given the blessings of growing up in a Christian home. Some have not had this privilege and struggle to break the cycle of sin and suffering. Our past, however, does not control our future.
Sometimes we discover things in our heritage that we're proud and thankful for. Other times we become angry and envious of those who have received more than we have. Then we feel deprived, jealous, and resentful.
But to break this cycle, I've found that focusing on self and the heritage God wants me to have allows me to be filled with joy which I can pass on to my children, friends, and anyone and everyone I meet (even on my blog). God's heritage is unlimited!
P.S. I'm searching for a pen-pal. Feel free to write me at this address:
