Holy Father's Love
Developmentally, as we grow from childhood into adolescence, it is our father’s voice that we are listening for to affirm us in our true self. So much of our relational and sexual brokenness is related to our not being affirmed by our earthly fathers. Sometimes, they themselves were not affirmed themselves, and just did not know how to guide us into adulthood. But our God reveals Himself not as a father, but as The Father who is the basis of all fatherhood. There, in His presence, and by receiving His love, we can find the affirmation to become the men and women He created us to be.
