My Hero: Healing From Wounds of a FatherSample

Day 16 - God’s Love as a Father

God wants you to know and experience the love of a father. There are some really great dads out there, and there are, unfortunately, some who need a lot of work.

In the case of those dads who fell short and hurt us deeply, God has made a way for us to find healing and not miss out on anything.

Having a bad earthly dad can cause us to have a skewed view of God. We can fix this by focusing on who God is, what He’s done for us, and His character. When we truly know God, we know there is nothing an earthly father can provide that He can’t. We can be content in whatever situation we’re in because we know God will fill in the gaps.

If you struggle to see God as your father ask Him for help. He won’t take offense to it. He can start working with you right where you’re at. God is not distant. He is always close and willing to listen. Keep your focus on Him and you will make it through any storm.
