Lyrics:
Daddy made some promises he couldn’t keep
Momma said you’ll still see him every other week
You didn’t understand
You were just a kid back then
Two bedrooms in two houses, different sides of town
Feeling like a deck of cards, always shuffled round
With pain that no one knows
Guess that’s the way it goes
But if I could talk to that younger me
I’d hold him close and I’d say these things
All of your tomorrows don’t depend on your yesterdays
And there is more to living than the way that you were raised
If I’m honest, some things heal
If I’m honest, some things won’t
But you don’t have a broken future
Just cause you’re from a broken home
There might be a day you think it’s all your fault
Beating yourself up for reasons that don’t make sense at all
It was not your fault
It was not your fault
And you’ll wonder if your father’s sins are in your blood
Cause you’ll make mistakes you don’t think you’ll find your way back from
But I know you will
The morning’s coming still
All of your tomorrows don’t depend on your yesterdays
And there is more to living than the way that you were raised
If I’m honest, some things heal
If I’m honest, some things won’t
But you don’t have a broken future
Just cause you’re from a broken home
And it’s ok to be mad
It’s ok to cry
And to ask your mom and ask your dad
Why oh why
And it’s ok to feel
Like you’re lost upon the sea
Cause this isn’t how it was meant to be
But you’ll grow up, fall in love, and hold your kids
And you’ll know that you can do things different than they did
And all the hell you’ve seen
Heaven will redeem
All of your tomorrows don’t depend on your yesterdays
There is more to living than the way that you were raised
If I’m honest, some things heal
If I’m honest, some things won’t
But you don’t have a broken future
You don’t have to have a broken future
Just cause you’re from a broken home
Just cause you’re from a broken home
#AustinFrench #BrokenHome
This is an anthem for God's beloved children who are brokenhearted over broken homes.
Jesus Christ is our Living Hope; He restores and makes all things new.
Hallelujah
This feels like a love letter to everyone who have suffered a broken home
AMEN GOD IS GOOD!!!!!!!!!!
There has never been a song that more perfectly, word for word, explains the pain and confusion I felt as a kid. I was living out of a suitcase as I spent week after week, year after year, bouncing between my parent’s houses. I always felt like I did something. I developed overeating and gained weight because of my depression. I made a promise to my wife and myself that I would break that generational curse and NEVER put my kids through that. I live by Phil 4:13 now. “I can do all things through Christ, who gives me strength”. Thank you, Austin, for this song. I’m in the middle of 21 Days of Prayer and I just came across this and I feel God sent me thins song to cure me of my past and open my eyes for the future. God is good, all the time!
I love this so much. I’ve been raised in a Christian household but by my grandparents. My dad was barely present in my early childhood and is now absent but trying to come back. I always worry about my future and how I’ll be able to be a parent when I didn’t have mine. Thank the Lord that our tomorrows don’t depend on our yesterdays!
Your describing my life by every detail. Hugs to you.
@@amydewar831 hugs straight back to you! 🤍🤍
Break those curses. The evil one wants us to repeat the pattern. He tries to convince us we aren’t worthy & sldnt expect things to be different. But he IS A LIAR!! ❤️🩹
Thank you for letting the Lord heal through your songs. These words will help more more people than you can imagine.
I’ve always loved Austin French’s honesty and realness! I appreciate this song so much!!!
Songs like this, & this 1, help us to grieve healthily by prayer to our caring heavenly Father. A Christian psychologist said it is harmful to our soul/pyche to not grieve over our losses in life. & certainly that would be true over the heartbreak/s we have suffered from "broken" childhoods. We need to allow ourselves to grieve; but inviting God to share our grief with us, & looking to him for healing, is the healthiest (=healingest) way.
This is an amazing song! It was exactly how I felt when I grew up. After all the bad things happened (domestic violance, my father had an affair,etc), I find its a blessing I met Jesus when I was a kid. I am 32 now. There are some pains healed, some lingers. Yet the love of God helps me to be different, I am not bound by the mistakes of my parents. Thank you Mr French. Its always uplifing to hear your song, keep up the good work. God bless you and your family~
When you sang this song at the Crowder concert in Camdenton, Mo at the Ozark Amphitheater it brought tears to my eyes bc my son relates to this song.
This song brought tears to my eyes. My father was not a good man. I was physically, sexually, and mentally abused by him from 16 to 23. Now, suffer from Crohn's. I'm glad I have a wonderful Heavenly Father.
😢
Amen! God is a good God! Our earthly father’s may fail us, but our Heavenly Father never does!😊
Remember you are a Child of the Father in Heaven, it is written your name is in paradise, it is written Our Father in Heaven will heal his children of all of there diseases. Jesus knows.
☹🙏
@@sabrinadawn4112 Amen , I come into agreement.
I’m at the concert right now and there’s nothing I would do to miss this not nothing in this world
This is a great stepping stone to the story of Gods love, grace and forgiveness. It's such an indescribeable sense of euphoria when you truly give God EVERYTHING and you can just be wrapped in His overwhelming peace.
I tell my boys all the time, I promise I will fail them from time to time. That just creates the chance for me to point them to the perfect example of our heavenly Father. I thank God for how He turned my life around, so my boys wont have to live this song out.
Thank you🥹❤
Wow...thank you. The LORD is using you. God bless you. ❤️🩹
So many children are from broken homes!
I love your message in ur song 💞🙌🙌🙌🙌
Yes go Austin French great song. Broken Home is a very inspirational uplifting spiritual encouraging worshipping song. I love it listening on Thurs 6-20-2024. You Tube Music brought me here.
So relevant! I needed this song 20+ years ago! 😅
This. ❤
This is exactly what I'm going through and feeling 😢 except my mom caused the broken home, and I'm hurting, angry, and scared. Thank you Austin for this song it came right on time and is exactly what I needed to hear. I'm sure many other people listening feel the same. This gives my broken heart hope 💔
My dad is a physical and mental abuser. I've told the police, I've told trusted adults, but they don't seem to believe me. I was talking to a youtube friend just now about it when your song suddenly appeared on my UA-cam app. Wow, was it not a message from God. I am in tears right now. I've never heard of you before, but just because of this song, I'm going to make sure I listen to your music. Thank you so much for this message of hope!! 🥹🥹🥹
Strength, my brother. It must be very difficult: difficult to love your father, difficult to forgive. He also needs God, Christ, like all of us. I know it is very difficult to live in such an environment, but no matter how difficult it is, do not feel anger or hatred towards it. Since Christ forgave us, I will pray for you, my brother. Cheer up and continue trusting in God, and that everything will be resolved. If you have any questions, don't hesitate to write to me.
Thank you for releasing this, Austin. My mom saw you in Fayetteville a couple weeks back and came home and said I needed to hear this song. I’m walking through divorce, myself, right now after experiencing betrayal and broken promises. Every single time I have to pack up my two babies and send them across town to stay with their dad, like I just did three hours ago, my heart shatters into a million pieces. It’s an endless pain, and a situation that I never expected me or my precious and innocent children to be in. My greatest fear is that they will be affected by this, something they didn’t ask for, forever. But surely- “All the hell they’ve seen, all of Heaven will redeem.” That’s the only thing that keeps me going. Thank you for sharing your heart and pointing us all back to the hope of the redeeming cross.
God's ways of redeeming heartcrushing tragedies of our past (or present) can be very painful. Look at the life of Joseph, Moses, David, Paul, etc. We all suffer our share in this world. But if we stick with the Friend who sticks closer than a brother, God has his ways of working out the injustice & all the pain to do something amazingly GOOD. SEE Romans 8, espec. 28 thru end chapter. Genesis 45 & 50:19-21. It would do us all good to read this entire story about Joseph's calamities & God's redemption of them.
+ Lamentations 3:18-26. As Max McLean always says: "Read the Bible, it is good for the soul.".
We heard Austin play this song at a concert last week. It so touched my granddaughter-she was hiccup sobbing. She is now seeking God. Thank you for sharing your testimony!
I was also at this concert and I was crying so hard during it
Thank you JESUS, 4 Your perfect love, healing, freedom, restoration! Thanks Austin, powerful song. GOD bless you!
"All your tomorrows don't depend on your yesterdays " what a beautiful masterpiece 💖! It reminds me of my new me and it's because of JESUS!
Thank you soo much. You just healed my heart . May God keep blessing you
Beautiful! This hits home for me….love it! Thank you for writing inspirational and impactful music…🙏🏾💕
Beautiful,heartfelt ❤️
A beautiful song
Thankyou for sharing this song. God bless you Austin and your family and ministry 🤗🙏
Thank you
@Austin French, you and I share the same story, I've seen my mom cry when I was small, get frustrated because my father did something bad bad. It was hard for both of us, but because of my grandparents and the grace of God and His hand on us, today I've grown more into Jesus more than ever, I never knew love of a father, but after knowing Christ, I know the love of a father far more than I could've ever imagined, I Love my heavenly father so much and He loves me more. And nothing can change that, Amen! Praise Be To God! ❤❤❤❤✝
I’m in tears
I've only listened to it once and love it already. Thanks Austin 🩷🩷🩷
I have gone thought this same pain. This song hits close to home. Thank you Austin for releasing a song like this.
Thank you so much for releasing this song! We just recently saw you in Liberty, MO at PV Baptist Church. Your testimony and song are inspiring. We all have a story. Thank you for your openness! I can't wait to see how God uses this! Stay Blessed, Austin!
Its like you’ve seen my howl life then you write this song😢, thank you✨
I’m balling! I know this is from God 😭😭
God really just spoke to me through your song! , Thank you for sharing, God bless you!🙌🏻🤍
Thanks Austin,I seen you at Hyland Heights Baptist church June the 8th,with Big Daddy weave and Hannah Kerr,that was the first time i heard this song was praying you would put it out there,this is a Beautiful song that will speak and heal hearts through Jesus our Lord.Now im waiting for Big Daddy weave to put Jay Bird's song out,the whole concert was lifting our saviour up and his promises and his Greatness,all Glory to God.🎶🙏✝️
Austin, thank you for releasing this song! I can’t even begin to express what this song means to me and to so many others as children of divorced parents. I have often felt like a “deck of cards shuffled round” as mentioned in your song, but I love how you mention that “all of your tomorrows don’t depend on your yesterdays.” God’s mercies are new every morning! I don’t have to let the past stop me from experiencing God’s grace for today and the plans He has for me for the future. I appreciate you sharing your testimony with us! God bless you!
Wow! I just heard this song for the first time this morning, and it stopped me in my tracks. It touched my heart and felt like a big hug, compelling me to post a comment about a song/video for the very first time. This anthem resonates with so many people around the world. ❤No one ever wants to leave a legacy of divorce for their family, and hopefully, this song will bring healing and reconciliation to millions. It speaks volumes. Thank you! The world needs more love, healing and Jesus!
❤🩹🙏
I never planned for my son to know what it's like to live between two house holds. I always wanted him to know what its like to live in a household where he is loved and his daddy never leaves. I thought I could create for him. I thought I could make him stay. And I prayed and I prayed for him to stay. But people turning from me and confusion gripping me led me to a man who loves me and treats me like Christ and gives me hope every day, that even though I don't understand, I am loved. A lot of people I thought would be there have hurt me to a degree that I also don't understand. But it's led me to lean on Christ the way I should have from the beginning, and for that I am grateful. I'm sorry it took this, but I'm happy God came through even when I didn't think He would.
I thought because of this past that I had to have a broken future, that I was forever stuck in this mindset, in this broken state. I don't know how I got there but I have no one to blame but the devil. Thank you Lord for delivering me and setting me free!!! Thank you that that is not my future and you have better for all of your children!!!! Halleluyah!!!!! Amen and Amen!!!!! Praise God!!!!!!
Saw him perform this live 2 weeks ago . Broke my heart but isn’t it great when God comes in and holds you close 🫶🏻
Wow. I saw the title and knew I had to listen. Though I knew it would be tough to. You sing the reality, the pain, and yet, the hope. ❤ Beautiful. May God bless you, sir. Well done in all you have overcome.
I went to one of his concerts in March and he played this song and it felt really relatable. This song has me in tears! Thank you so much for this song Austin French!!!!❤❤
I love you Austin
❤❤❤
I heard this for the first time tonight & it was in person. He opened for Big Daddy Weave. Lots of tears shed with this song, including my own knowing my kids suffer from being from a broken home😢
Powerful! Exactly! It made us who we are right now! Praise the LORD! We are going to be better parents than they were.
God is my Father. Call no man on earth they Father. For thou hast one Father. He is in Heaven.
I hope more and more people will listen this song in many and many languages.
I open the sky on hearts broken 🙌🏽
A Frenchman 🇨🇵
WOW
I was at austin's concert tonight in beatrice nebraska. He did fantastic and everyone did great too. When he told his story and song this I cried. It is such a great song. This song reminds me of my home life. I hope you have a great and blessed day.
Tears are streaming!
I was from a broken home .. 7 different times. My parents were married 4 times each. And I had siblings scattered all over.
And then I grew up and tolerated so much crap to hang onto a marriage so that my kids didn’t go through what I did- a broken home! But after 7 years I couldn’t take it anymore and my boys deserved better, I deserved better. I found Jesus and He rescued my story and saved me from my myself. I then met the most amazing man that raised my boys like they were his own. That was over 27 years ago now. We’ve been married now 25 years and have a daughter together. But I still struggle even after my mom has passed away. And my boys haven’t spoken to their biological father in over 4 years. It’s an extremely difficult road to walk and only Jesus got us through it with lots of prayer and therapy!! So if you’re going through this journey hold on tight to Jesus and fight for peace, love and forgiveness in your heart. Don’t let bitterness get in because that’s what will take you down a path that you can’t recover from! ❤
powerful story! A broken past may bleed into our lives but the newness Jesus brings changes generations!
@@talitameyer2581amen & amen! I’m living proof of that!!!
@@talitameyer2581amen & amen! I’m living proof!! ❤
I saw you at a concert with big daddy weave and this song sent me to tears and it was my first time seeing u/ hearing u at all and now you're one of my favorites so with that I think you ❤
wow....A very profound and relevant song of hope for today's and yesterdays kids. Well Done Austin!!
Finally the full version. Such a huge fan. My boyfriend and I recently met you in Fayetteville N.C. with Big Daddy Weave. You’re amazing. Keep doing what you’re doing. Can not wait until the next concert!!!!
Shout out to Fayetteville, NC, Jesus Saves🙌🏿🙌🏿🙌🏿
Thank you for writing this Austin.💞 This is my story, as well. I know I made a lot of poor choices when I was a teen and into my 20's (I'm 56 now), not realizing it was due to having abandonment issues. Though, I do take full ownership of those choices. I'm thankful the Lord has forgiven and healed me from the hurt and my relationship with my father, but I am very aware that I don't have the type of father/daughter relationship that some have, who had their father with them in the growing years. I know my father tried, but I'm sure he was broken to. This song really hits home.🙏
Foster mom here. Love the chorus of this for them
Thank you for writing what so many of us have difficulty talking about. All my siblings are in our thirties and we’re just now talking about the childhood challenges we faced. My brothers have the most difficult time expressing. I appreciate this.
I pray to our Father for y'all. I feel for you, having known that experience (with my siblings). Our hostile devilish parents did us no good, spiritually. Only God heals broken hearts & lives. & He usually doesn't work in a hurry. We will usually be experiencing ill effects from the maltreatment for the remainder of our lives. i & my siblings have. But God is beneficient, and He is love. & when we keep going to Him, & put forth the effort to honor & obey, He goes on helping us throughout life. We can count on him ! see Psalm 27, + 42-43, & 62. + Psalm 118.
Ty so much Mr French. My mom and dad divorced when I was younger and I never understood it. I was just in tears this entire song. I still have my places that I ask why did that have to happen to me. And why didn’t I get to have kids like everyone else even to those who shouldn’t deserve to get to have kids. I still ask God why? Still haven’t gotten an answer yet. Don’t know if I ever will ❤ty
WOW! You were on The Message last night, and I was captivated by your voice, words, and music! GOD Bless you, keep singing!
Listened to this for the first time at Winkler Harvest Festival...had a front row seat. Thanks for getting so real with this song. It's so bittersweet, yet so full of hope. God will use this song to help someone else. ❤
I have always liked he’s music at ten moment I am from a broken home I have a broken heart my mother has passed and music is helping me
Damn youtube reading my life and recommend me this song. Squeezing tears out of me in middle of the night. My dad left our family for another woman when i was 5. Just turned 26 yesterday and broken home stuff still affected me. I suffer from depression and bpd because of it. Traumatized, i never been in relationship. And peoples just said "get over it and move on" as if coming from broken home doesn't affect you for life 😢
The lyric hits home.
We all have choices and decisions to make. You are better than the decisions your Dad made. You will do better, so please dont let that hold you back from living.
People can be blunt and incapable of empathizing...I hope you can make peace with your past so you can see the bright future that God wants to show you.
I attended a concert today in Eagle River , WI (Praise in the Pines) and I was really blessed by this song. God bless you man.
Amen Austin
Absolutely beautiful 💛 Thank you for releasing this.
Beautiful❤
Great song!!! ❤
Changeable and effective song for young age
Amazing 🙏
Since June, I have been dealing with my parents divorcing, my dad having broken his vows.
I'm 17, and don't technically have to live in my broken home for long, only a year and I can move away and have a fresh start, but my siblings don't have that luxury, and I hate all of this for them.
It's been the saddest time of my life, and I've been sustained only by prayer and my intense desire to be a better husband and father than my dad has shown himself to be.
This song is so heartbreakingly real for me, and I'm glad my uncle found it for me, thank you
It is good that you have vowed to yourself to not be an unfaithful husband, as your father was: But always REMEMBER that it is God, our intimate relation to Him, & the strength we get from his word, that enables us to keep such vows. Ask Austin, & see if he agrees that is true : unless you already are convinced. That knowledge is the reason that men in older history, had a habit of saying, "God help me, i will do or not do such & so.. Or, with God's help, +.
If the Lord wills.
I was at your show in #Minnesota last night and you three bands are the powerful #Trifecta of Christian music - you are a powerful force! You all are VERY inspiring and talented!!! ❤🙏
No man can say that Jesus is Lord but by the Holy Ghost.
Hard to listen with a dry eye! Thank you for this song, Austin 🙏
Man this song breaks my heart. I grew up in a really good situation. Not perfect but good. But knowing this song related to so many people hurts my heart. May God heal all of you.
Thank you for your sentiment. i hope that is your prayer for us all & not only a wish into the wind. We can all benefit from petitions to Him for the great help/healing we need. As you said, there are manyof us. The USA has been producing lots & lots of brokenhearted sons & daughters for a long long time.
J'aime beaucoup !
Great song.
My parents got divorced when I was 10 my dad would mentally abuse me and this song brought me to tears when I first heard it it reminded me of not only my dads abuse but my brothers abuse also thank you for this song it definitely gives hope to those who suffer from brokenness and broken homes definitely telling them that thier is a heveanly father that cares about you and that you are his kid
Welcome to my fatherless story, Austin. My new favorite anthem!
68 yrs old and this made me cry. We kids just never heal. Take the heartbreak of a sensitive child, add an alcoholic stepfather and a narcissistic stepmother, mom n dad so infatuated with their new mate that they believe any lie told about you....abuse without a support system...one very messed up girl. Never believed for one minute that 'love' wasn't a word people just tossed around like 'Hello'. My little brother was 9 when mom n dad divorced. When he was 32 he told me he was still hoping mom n dad would get back together. I cried for him. People don't know what they do to their kids. It's so sad. This is why it is said that the greatest gift parents can give their children is to love each other. Speak lovingly, kindly to your spouse so your kids know mom n dad are in love. In that is a child's greatest security.
That was well communed, & thank you for sharing. I am going to pray for God to help you & your bro. & pray for salvation for you 2 & your parents. God IS good & He helps those who seek Him. ★Lamentations 3:21‐18-26. (These verses can help even if we didn't cause our troubled life, as the people of Israel caused theirs.) Psalm 73:23-28=end chapter.
Wow what an amazing song!
Wow, this is an awesome song ❤
Jesus keeps His Promises, and knows your 💔 heart.... Let Him Hold you❣️❣️❣️🕊️🕊️🕊️❣️❣️❣️
If your reading this…it’s gonna be ok,you will get through this by the strength of God,it wasn’t your fault,you are loved you are seen you are heard…❤
I too come from a broken home. God saved me from it. Amen.
yes we don't have to have a broken future just bcuz we are from a broken home~
The word.
Thank you Austin French so much for releasing this! My husband and I went to a big daddy weave in Jonesboro AR! You came on stage and told your testimony then sang this song! The whole time I was in TEARS! As soon as it was over I was the very first person to Stand up and clap! This song was the first song that EVER related to my life! We don't have the same exact story but I felt every single word in this song! My husband told me you released this today and I've been listening to it ALL day long! Thank you for having the courage to put this out and giving us the opportunity to listen and share this song🤍🫶🏻
I heard this first at BDW when they came to Charlotte and I don’t think there was a dry eye in the building
@@Randall_beatley My heart really felt GODS presence when he sang this song!
Essa música me tocou profundamente.
uhhhh 🥺🥺❤️
Recieve Jesus as it's what your Father said. Like a little kid. Oh what's that daddy. Oh that a bird. Ok. Hey daddy look that's a bird.
Jesus is Lord. Hallelujah. Alleluia. Sorry of I spelled anything wrong.
I wish people would greet each other with Jesus is Lord. So we know who we are dealing with.
i feel so bad
Why this song is not on spotify?🤐🤔😮💨
I could never find a way to put into words what it’s like. I just know it sucks and I’m sick and tired of going from state to state every other weekend when I know I can’t spend another minute with my dad because of how narcissistic he is. He cheated and left twelve years of marriage and his two year old daughter behind for a woman he worked with for six months and married her the same year. I remember thinking at one point maybe it was my fault. Maybe if I grew up faster or was a batter kid, maybe he would’ve stayed. And I was a great kid. Still am. Maybe he would’ve stayed. I got older and realized it was him. Always has been. And I see it clearly now. Have for years. But I was just telling my friend that my kids will NEVER have to go through what I did. I will always be there. And if, at any point, I start to even PARTIALLY act like my dad did, then I will have raised them to call me out on my crap. I’m just waiting till I turn 18. At least I’ll get my license soon. Then I can leave if I need to. I love him. But I have to get out at some point.
I am so sorry for the pain of your life, for which you were not to blame. Good to commit yourself mentally to do more responsibly than your parent/s, but you will need help from God to "pull it off". There may be parts of your self (inside) that are skewed b/c of what you have lived through during your formative yrs, that may cause you to be different than you think you will be. I was a mess inside because both my parents were hostile toward their children. My ill‐father surely was narcissistic too. & a damned jerk beside toward my ill‐mother & us=5 children. "Mom" was a ["christian"+] hypocrite. So not all children of dysfunctional homes had life as bad as myself. But you apparently believe you are not truly loved by your father, & that your life doesn't matter much to him, & it is not important to him to actually know you & to have a healthy relationship with you. If you put confidence/trust in the Father‐God & Jesus Christ, HE will help you to live, far better than you will be able to do without his assistance. Austin French would tell you that, too. If you seek counsel from Him AND WAIT LONG ENOUGH TO RECEIVE IT BEFORE MAKING CHOICES for your own self for the most important relationship=the romantic love & sexual one, you can avert a very difficult & heartbreaking life for you & any children. A book that may help you to do that & help generally with your navigation through life is titled "The Father I Never Knew". Christian (i.e. Bible based) books writ by knowledgeable Christians, CHRISTIAN=psychologists & trained CHRISTIAN therapists, probably would help you. Also the Christian counseling of ★excellent★ psychologist June Hunt, almost certainly can help you. She has authored bks on probably almost every subject imaginable. And she had a truly crappy "father", she is much qualified to advise on that subject. Focus On the Family ministries has trained counselors who will help somewhat by phone. @1‐800‐AFamily/www.family matters.net. Some1 @ Focus probably knows the author of the bk i mentioned above, & can tell you where you might find a copy of it. (A public library might have it.) Amazon oft has 2nd hand bks for sale>mcheap, some which have never been read (in new condition inside).
June's ministry= Hope For The Heart= 1‐800‐488‐HOPE/ GetHope.com
Sorry to have to tell you this, but women oft choose to marry themselves to men who have the same character flaws as their ill‐fathers had/have. They are attracted to men like their fathers, without recognizing it. They tend to repeat, as adults, the cycle they grew‐up in.
It is common to 'sort‐of ' see red‐flags & ignore them when we 'have stars in our eyes;' i.e., are infatuated. We need to give ourselves plenty of time to get to know people well before we commit to a relationship or enter into a sexual one. (Which, without legal marriage, is a Xbad thing to do anyway & almost never works out well, ergo God says DON'T DO IT: you will get hurt, & maybe a child/children too. It is sin to not wait on God for his guidance for the important choices in life, that bring long‐term change > such as marriage. I not trying to be bossy> trying to help. i was young (long ago), & i wish i had had someone to teach me these things back there, i might have done better at living my life. These Bible texts should help you>>
1st John 4:7-12. +1st John 3:1. + Psalm 51:17. + Psalm 34:18, & 8-10. +Psalm 36:5-10. + Psalm 37:4 Note that God puts a condition on this promise ! Delighting in The Lord God is not a condition we sinful-hearted men/women can easily meet. It takes time to consistently seek him, biblically/scripturally, truly, & make him truly >Lord< whom we truly trust/believe/confide in.
Psalm 118: is a good one to SEE, especially verses 8-9,+13-17. +Psalm 73:esp. verses 23-28. Psalm 119:9-16. & ★Lamentations 3:21-26. If you seek him, choosing obedience to him =New Testament style living, according to Paul's letters *>> He surely will help you. But don't expect Him to make life EASY & PLEASY to you. He is about perfecting (i.e., sanctifying) those who have believed on/in Him > per John 3:14 thru end.
*I am simply pointing out that we believers in this age, called "the church age", we are not required by God to live by the Old Testament law (of Moses). We are called to a life of freedom from the law, freedom to seek worship, & serve God by/in his grace.
What a wonderful message... Broken home, your tomorrow don't depend on yesterday 😢❤
Who cut onions
