A Father to the Fatherless

You have know idea how much this post has blessed me. Thank you.

Hello Roberta,

I had the same thing happen to me when I was young, my dad left my mom and all five of us kids. Mom became our rock. She was a saint.

But I never really knew what it was like to have a father. I would not know how to relate to people who knew what it was like to have a dad.

Then one day, I remembered the scripture that says that Jesus will be a "father to the fatherless". WOW!! Right then and there, I saw myself as a daughter of the King!! Now Jesus is my Saviour and my Lord, but He is ALSO my Dad.

I approach Him in prayer the way a daughter would talk to her daddy. I envision myself in the arms of Jesus, the way a daughter climbs up into her daddys arms. Now I know what it's like to have a daddy.

Hugs for Jesus

I was able to re-establish a relationship with my earthly father before he died. But Jesus remained my "number one Dad".

It hurts me to think of people being abandoned by their Dad. But yes Blynn, it is such a comfort to know God and know that no matter what we do or have done to us, HE is always there for us.

I have found that not only is life at times cruel, but there is nothing so cruel in life like one Christian can be to another. May God help us to keep our focus on Jesus and no other.
