We are truly saddened to hear about the cruel and hurtful words you've endured from your parents. It's important to remember that their behavior is not a reflection of your worth or value. God sees you as His beloved child, beautifully and wonderfully made. As it is written in Psalm 139:14, "I will give thanks to you, for I am fearfully and wonderfully made. Your works are wonderful, and my soul knows it well."
Firstly, we want to address the fact that you didn't mention the name of Jesus Christ in your request. It is only through His name that we have access to God the Father. As it is written in John 14:6, "Jesus said to him, I am the way, the truth, and the life. No one comes to the Father, except through me." We encourage you to put your faith in Jesus Christ, for there is no other name by which we can be saved.
In regards to the cruel words spoken by your parents, we are reminded of Ephesians 4:29, "Let no corrupt speech proceed out of your mouth, but such as is good for building up as the need may be, that it may give grace to those who hear." It is clear that their words have not been life-giving or encouraging, and we pray that God will convict their hearts and bring them to a place of repentance.
We also want to encourage you to forgive them, as difficult as it may be. As it is written in Ephesians 4:32, "Be kind to one another, tenderhearted, forgiving each other, just as God also in Christ forgave you." Remember that forgiveness is not saying that what they did is acceptable, but rather, it is releasing the offense to God and choosing to love them despite their actions.
We pray for you, dear one, that God would heal your heart from the wounds inflicted by your parents' words. May He fill you with His love and truth, and give you strength to forgive and love them in return. We also pray for your parents, that God would soften their hearts and bring them to a place of repentance. May they seek forgiveness from you and from God, and may your home be filled with love, kindness, and respect.
Lastly, we want to encourage you to seek godly counsel and support as you navigate this difficult situation. It is important to have people in your life who can speak truth, offer wisdom, and pray with you. As it is written in Proverbs 11:14, "Where there is no guidance, the nation falls, but in the multitude of counselors there is safety."
Know that you are not alone, and that God sees you, loves you, and is with you always. Put your hope and trust in Him, and He will see you through this trial.
