For those of you that have never had a relationship with your biological father (like me) or have recently lost a father that was the center of your world, I have some encouraging words for you! GOD LOVES YOU and is the "Ultimate Father"! Isaiah 44:2 tells us that "I am your creator. You were in my care even before you were born." God knows everything about us and desires to have a loving fatherly relationship with us. All we have to do is let him in!
One of my favorite praise songs goes like this:
He knows my name.
He knows my every thought.
He sees each tear that falls
and he hears me when I call.
Remember, you are not an accident! That's my favorite chapter in "The Purpose Driven Life" by Rick Warren. In Chapter 2 there is a poem by Russell Kelfer that reminds me of God's love and that he knew me before I was born.
You are who you are for a reason.
You're part of an intricate plan.
You're a precious and perfect unique design,
Called God's special woman or man.
You look like you look for a reason.
Our God made no mistake.
He knit you together within the womb,
You're just what he wanted to make.
The parents you had were the ones he chose,
And no matter how you may feel,
They were custom-designed with God's plan in mind,
And they bear the Master's seal.
No, the trauma you faced was not easy.
And God wept that it hurt you so;
But it was allowed to shape your heart
So that into his likeness you'd grow.
You are who you are for a reason,
You've been formed by the Master's Rod.
You are who you are, beloved,
Because there is a God!
Call out to Christ and allow him to be your comforter, your friend, and your father. You'll never regret a relationship with him!
