A Father to the fatherless!

Psalm 68:5 He is a Father to the Fatherless.

I didn't grow up with a good father, in fact for many years I despised my earthly father. Most young girls learn how to date, how to choose a good husband, how not be treated wrongfully by their fathers. A fathers love is secure and allows you to view the world differently. Unfortunately, as I became a teenager I searched for a father in men, I yearned for that fatherly love. I had father figures in my life, but was heartbroken and felt unloved because the only relationship that mattered what own father. As time went on and I did not receive that love, I became very defensive and disconnected to the relationship world, settling for less and allowing men to hurt me way more than I should. It took me a long time, even now doubt creeps in, to learn that I have a loving Father who loves me even when I mess up, a Father who, when I am hurt, I can sit on his spiritual lap and just cry, a Daddy who I never have to worry about hurting me. A Father who supplies all of my needs. (Matthew 6:26). Sometimes my Father whispers in my ear, "you are my daughter" just to reassure me that I belong to Him, that He loves me. God, my Father loves me so much that he knew me before I was in my mothers womb. (Jeremiah 1:5). I am His daughter, I was His daughter before my mother and father could claim me as their own. My Daddy was with me through all my hurt and pain as a child when no family member knew what was happening, when suicide was plaguing my mind. God's love is so deep for us that he sent His son Christ to die for us. (John:3:16). It took me 32 years to realize that I always had a Father even when my earthly father had forsaken me. I thank God my Father in heaven. The Father my Gaga (grandma) spoke so much about, the Father who has always seen me for who I am even when I masked the pain from not having my earthly father (psalms 44:21) and the Father who has shown me that He is even a Father to my earthly father. So while father's day is approaching, I want you all to pray for my father, pray that he comes into the knowledge of Jesus Christ, pray that those demons that has plagued him since he was a child is removed, pray he is delivered. For while, my father and I haven't spoken since the death of my Gaga, since I dropped that letter off releasing all of my pain, my hope is he gets saved. While I may see my father one way, God sees him another. So today pray for my earthly father as I will with a sincere heart that he gets delivered and saved.

To those who never knew their father, who was hurt by their father, who lost their dad, there is a Father in heaven who loves you more than I can describe. He will give you a perfect peace about your earthly dad, he will touch your heart more than anyone on this earth can and help you forgive your absent dad. Get to know The Father, read His word, accept him into your life. For I know its hard to get to know The Father when you never had a father but it'll be the best relationship you ever had! (2 Corinthians 6:18).
