Kirk Franklin who is an American gospel singer and who has performed in Kenya before finally met his biological father who he has never met before and he has 3 to 6 months to live and he was very emotional.
Kirk Franklin got married to his beautiful wife, Tammy Collins in 1996 and together have been blessed with four adorable children; Carrington Franklin, Kennedy Franklin, Kerrion Franklin, Caziah Franklin flew all the way to Houston to meet his dying father who he used to hate most of his life and forgive him for not being there in his entire life.
“Two days ago, I received an anonymous call that my biological father, who I never knew, has 3-6 months to live. I’ve lived my entire life hating this man. He and my biological mother gave me up for adoption, and it left me never feeling good enough….to this very day.
I took my hate for him and used it as fuel to be the best father I could be for my own. But what I did wrong, is I never took that fuel, and turn it into forgiveness….and that is wrong. Wrong for him, me, and the God I proclaim to represent.
How can I preach what I don’t practice? So I flew to Houston yesterday to do that. It’s painful, it’s a process, but how disappointed I would be in myself for this man to leave this earth without being forgiven.
He deserves to receive what God gives me every day. Pray for him, and for me. God this is hard…I weep as I write.” he wrote this emotional post on Instagram acknowledging that he has indeed forgiven him even though he gave him out for adoption together with his biological mother.
