Today was one of the most emotional and incredible days of my life. I had the honor and priveledge of praying with my dad as he accepted Jesus Christ into his heart. He is 76 years old soon to be 77 this coming October 17th. My mother and I had been praying for the past 23 years for his life to be changed and this afternoon at 2:53pm - in the parking lot of a Mega Depot - Fred Clark son of Tramel Clark became Fred Clark son of God.
There are no words, no songs, not even an intelligent descriptive thought that can quite capture this moment in eternity for me. It is beyond joyous - it is truly miraculous.
This man who served in two wars, was the strict disciplinarian in my home and that hardness made me angry and jaded for many years. I stuggled in our relationship which was almost non-existant for most of my young adult life. I promised God that I would return to Panama to learn to be the daughter he never had if God in turn would help him become the Father I always wanted him to be.
To see him bend his knee today - to watch him cry as he asked for forgiveness and then smile after we had finished the prayer has truly changed me. We spoke for hours today about being a true Christian - a sincere follower of Christ and he had so many questions - and in his eyes I could tell... this was for real.
As I sit here typing this testimony for all to read; I am once again reminded, NOTHING is impossible and that God is truly able to do what we believe could never be done. So I encourage you all this day. For those of you who have never held the hand of one you loved and prayed them into the kingdom, for those who have been standing in faith and intercession for family members, for spouses and children, for those who daily are sowing seeds into the lives of friends and co-workers.....please don't stop.
God is faithful - He will hasten to His word to perform it - it can and WILL happen if you keep your heart set and you remain determined to not let go. Don't give up on them - don't stop praying, don't stop sharing, don't stop loving - this is the way it comes to pass. Through your love, your prayers, your testimony and your reaching out - they will be drawn to Him.
I know it takes time. I know it can be frustrating. I promise you it will test every fiber of your being. But I can also assure you - beyond a shadow of any doubt....
IT IS WORTH IT.
Rejoice with me this evening my friends - Stomp and shout along with the angels in heaven - for my dad has finally come home.
Much love to you all
Pamela
