โ€œI feel sorry all the time for my now thirty-three year old son and have much heartache. Because I had my first baby in economically difficult times, I entrustedย my first baby to the hands of another caregiver. And while working, I initially felt sorry โ€“ because it was the firstborn child and he finally came after much expectancy, I felt sorry in multiple ways including the fact that I sent my child to America alone for college because I was in a mission field. My child grew up well and got married. He claims that he is completely okay and to be, moreover, thankful, but I wrestle with it in my heart all the time. However I did not even think of the need to pray about this and be healed. Once in a while, when my husband and I would share our hearts, [he would say], โ€œReally? I never feel that way…โ€ That was the extent.

But at the seminar, when I shared during our group sharing time, I became aware of the fact that this hurt has been negatively influencing my daughter. My daughter grew up without any suffering, and sometimes I felt hateful that she grew up like a princess, and sometimes I felt sad and complicated that she is ungrateful. With prayer, I experienced the disappearing of that sharp pain.

My daughter came home for spring break and while doing night’s devotion with her, I shared my testimony of how I was healed and received forgiveness. I wrote it long to let you guys (Drs. Joseph and Lydia Chun) know how God is working through this ministry. I pray that God will beautifully use you two in your ministry to heal and speak God’s truth into darkness and lies in peopleโ€™s lives. ”
