It Was Good That I Had Been Afflicted. Will the Power of Forgiveness Prevail. 12+

📙 As a PK, believe me when I say I have had my share of hurt as a child growing up. It still baffles me as to why “the saints” always targeted the pastors’ children.

How many pastors’ children refuse to go to any church today because of how they were treated as children growing up in church?

It affected not only me but also my family, and that made it all the more worse! Even though it rocked me as it did, I had to make a decision.
