“Do you know my Dad?”
- “He abandoned us!”
- “He is ill-tempered and abusive!”
- “I was conceived out of wedlock; I am a child of sin.”
- “He is too busy for us.”
- “He is so immature it’s mortifying.”
- “He is a loser.”
“I get no warm fuzzies at the thought of fathers. Why should I about God? In fact, how is my Dad not a message from God to me . . . about me?”
Look to the Bible to see God as your Father — that is where the truth lies. Your biological father’s flawed or evil model does not change the truth about God as your heavenly Father. In the Scriptures you have the only reliable source of information about Him.
Go to the Word of God and from it the Father Himself will paint an accurate picture of Himself onto the life-damaged canvas of your heart. He will gradually correct any wrong picture you have had of Him. In the process, He will restore your soul, heal your wounds, and give you joy for mourning.
Your heavenly Father will always love you and care for you. He will never ignore you or what you are experiencing in life. He will never leave you because He is always there for you.
“When my father and my mother forsake me, then the LORD will take me up” (Psalm 27:10).
