Quoted in Josh's Induction:

My forgiveness allowed me to ask from my parents what I needed most.  A deepseated belief had been overwhelming to me, a belief that I had been born cursed to be evil, a

Romans 9:22              ... vessel of wrath fitted to destruction...

like Cain or Esau.

I asked my parents to remove this curse. The turning point came in our relationship.  Together, they said, "We remove the curse."  Now I trust the blessing they offer.   The misperception that came between us, that I was unloved and had to prove my worth, that I could not trust them, has been worked through.


Isaiah 61

10 I will greatly rejoice in the LORD, my soul shall be joyful in my God; for he hath clothed me with the garments of salvation, he hath covered me with the robe of righteousness, as a bridegroom decketh himself with ornaments, and as a bride adorneth herself with her jewels.
