Do you have a boyfriend?"
I blinked at the question, staring at my dad who had worry lines across his forehead. They were always there. He worried too much about basically everything.
A giggle bubbled out of my mouth from my chest, then graduated into a laugh.
“Boyfriend ke? I don't have a boyfriend oo. Why are you asking me that?” I asked, raising an eyebrow.
Dad was frowning at me.
"Then why are you always smiling? We are basically bankrupt. A terrible accident took your mother only a few months ago, and we watched it happen. How can you be happy?”
I smiled sadly at him. My father seemed to have kept the image of mum's accident imprinted in his brain, and he had never gotten over the trauma of it.
“Jesus makes me happy, daddy. Things might seem ugly right now, but the assurance that He has everything under control is enough to keep me happy. There's a constant joy his presence gives me,” I finished.
I was surprised to see my father's eyes cloud over.
"I’m glad you’ve found happiness, my daughter. I only wish I could too,”he said.
I walked over and crouched in front of him,looking straight up into his sad eyes.
" You can, daddy. Jesus can give you joy.”

Yes! Jesus can give you joy. 💃💃
No matter how bleak things might seem, He has it all under control.🥹🥹
Trust and believe in Him🥰
