ABBA
At age 17, Jenny Kutz experienced the pain of her parents’ divorce. It was a pain that initially left her feeling hopeless—as though a ceiling had been lowered that limited her future. In her new book, titled ABBA, Jenny shares how in the years since then, God has been faithful to keep and sustain her. And He has a wonderful plan—not only for her—but for every child in a divorce situation. In her book, Jenny encourages others in similar situations that in spite of the circumstances they may experience growing up, life is not over and hope is not gone. There is hope in Jesus Christ, and their adventures are just beginning. The following is adapted from ABBA.
My Father Loves Me
by Jenny Kutz
I remember once being face to face with a woman who was thinking about ending her life. She came up front in response to an altar call given in the service and told me that suicidal thoughts continually plagued her. She felt like she didn’t measure up to anyone’s standards. She kept saying, “I don’t deserve to be taken care of because of all the things I have done. I’ve let my husband down. He works so hard to care for me, but I have only let him and my children down.” She went on and on about her mistakes and failures.
