As you grow up you begin to realize how much your past molded your future. From every decision to the people who impacted you... you were molded. Some have been blessed with worldly blessings, and others like me were blessed to be in a Christian family with both parents. Your life is molded by your past, but your future does not need to be fated by it.
God has always had a plan for you since you were conceived in your mother's belly whether you were adopted or born to the family you have/had. He has been pursuing you and reaching out to you, but it is your decision to answer. The Enemy tries hard to keep you distracted so you cannot hear Him calling out, but God can reach through the drowning of the storm to call you to Him. Will you answer? He will use whatever He pleases to reach you, but you have to want to answer Him. He is not going to force you, and you are without excuse to use your pass as an anchor for victimization or justification for your wicked ways.
Sadly, some are brought up with dads who do not care for them in the way they had hoped. Many have been hurt or mistreated for many reasons, but the one thing I know for sure is that your dad also was most likely mistreated. They may have not had a good example themselves and only used what they learned in how to treat you. Everyone of us have a past that was influenced by the world, our dads (or man that influenced you), our friends, family, and more. Have you asked God to influence you? Have you asked Him to change you... to remove the junk of the past and help you become more of the man HE wants you to be?
It is not too late for us to change... whether you are old or young... God can cleanse you and use you. Only if you let Him! The question is now... will you let Him? Will you allow the baggage to be lifted and handed to God so that He can show you more of what you are worth to Him? Today can be that defining moment if you would just drop to your knees and ask Him to show you the way... to guide your broken heart to His healing hands. Let your future be renewed in His grace!
