25 years ago today my dad took his own life. As a man, not having a father that shows up and loves you is devastating. I only saw him a few times a year, at best. He was never able to sacrifice his self. We must die to self. #fatherhood #ToChristAlone

Sorry friend. I pray that God would continue to be the father you grew up without.
He is so much more. All sadness of not having my earthy father is gone.
He is so good
Thank you for sharing. So true! and yet I find my twisted heart often loving self. My prayer for myself and my children is this... "for me to live is Christ...".
“The disease of self runs through my blood,
It’s a cancer fatal to my soul.
Every attempt on my behalf has failed
To bring this sickness under control.
…
This only serves to confirm my suspicions
That I’m still a man in need of a savior. “
Kindred spirits, my friend. Much love.
It seems to be a continual battle. Pick up our cross daily.
