A Hurting Word...
"Carry me, Daddy," the little girl begged (or whined!), as her tired, spindly little legs could walk no more. Mom and Dad had no car--their wheels were two-legged ones, and so the young family walked ALOT! And Dad "carried" alot--I know, because I was that little girl.
I watched my minister dad "carry" lots of people--the sick, the grieving, the lonely, the troubled--with compassion, tenderness, and understanding. I have memories of a godly father, a man of prayer and the Word, giving a lifetime of service to the Lord he loved. Perfect? By no means. Loving? By all means. And so, when I relate to God, my Heavenly Father, I have a role model of an earthly father, who loved, taught, and nurtured me in the ways of the Lord.
You may not--the father you remember may have been abusive, unloving, unjust, unforgiving--he may even have deserted you. That's unforgettable, but not unforgivable! Hard words, but you MUST let God help you face it, forgive it, and then be free to accept a healthy relationship with Your Heavenly Father. Come to the Well, and let His Words bring healing to your wounded soul.
A Helping Word...or Two!
"If we confess our sins, he is faithful and just to forgive us our sins, and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness (1 John 1:9 KJV)."
An Affectionate Father!
"...I have loved thee with an everlasting love; therefore, with loving-kindness have I drawn thee (Jeremiah 31:3 KJV)."
A Trustworthy Father!
"So shall my word be that goeth forth out of my mouth; it shall not return unto me void, but it shall accomplish that which I please, and it shall prosper in the thing whereto I sent it (Isaiah 55:11 KJV)."
A Helping Father!
"Fear thou not; for I am with thee. Be not dismayed; for I am thy God. I will strengthen thee; yea, I will help thee; yea, I will uphold thee with the right hand of my righteousness (Isaiah 41:10 KJV)."
An Embracing Father!
"The eternal God is thy refuge, and underneath are the everlasting arms...(Deuteronomy 33:27 KJV)."
A Restoring Father!
"And the son said...Father, I have sinned...But the father said...Bring forth the best robe, and put it on him; and put a ring on his hand, and shoes on his feet. And bring the fatted calf, and kill it; and let us eat, and be merry. For this, my son, was dead, and is alive again; he was lost, and is found. And they began to be merry (Luke 15:21-24)."Forgiving...affectionate...trustworthy...helping...embracing...restoring...list them vertically, note the first letter of each word, and discover a Heavenly Parent who loves you with an everlasting love! Let Him "father" you today!
And that's just a word...or two, from my heart to yours!
His Healing Word"....Our Father, who art in heaven...(Luke 11:2 KJV)."
"Lord, help me to forgive a dad who was not there when I needed him. Help me to love a Heavenly Father who IS there when I need Him. Teach me to walk as a little child, with my hand secure in Your own. And when I can walk no further, hold me; carry me; "father" me. I accept Your love and healing today. In Jesus' Name. Amen."

Please note that while I strongly adhere to major tenets of the evangelical Christian faith, I may not personally agree with every specific doctrinal belief set forth in other Christian pages. I do want to provide a diversity of links and resource material for the entire Body of Christ to enjoy, and trust you will view it as such.A safety tip: Internet links and material may include other links and/or material which do not reflect my Christian views or yours. Please choose wisely and use with discretion! And if you find an ugly spider hiding in a dark corner, you may smash it with a broom from my BROOM CLOSET--I hate offensive stuff too!
