Happy Father's Day!!!!
A Father’s Love, by Yodit Kifle
In a couple of days, we celebrate a day where we honor fathers and their role in our lives. We honor them by expressing our gratitude for their provision, commitment, guidance, words and love they’ve displayed.
We all have varying experiences with our fathers. There are those of us who have wonderful fathers in the home that have really made a difference in our lives. There are some of us who may have had fathers in our lives but never truly shared a relationship with them where we saw ourselves as daddy’s little girl. And then in other cases, some of us didn’t grow up with a father in our presence at all. We never experienced a father who affirmed us. Who provided for us or who loved us. So we find this time to not always be the easiest because we may not feel like we have someone to honor and it may bring floods of emotions that make us think we are less than.
I want to take this time to share words of life to those who have felt and feel the latter. Though I can’t speak from experience, I will encourage from God’s word. Never to diminish the importance of a father’s role, I will say even with a great father in my life, I’ve learned that it could never replace the importance of understanding God’s unconditional and unrelentless love for me and embracing it so much that I stood on His love before I allowed my Earthly father’s love to affect me.
Has my father’s love and presence made a difference in how I view life? It certainly has. But I’ve learned it will never be enough. And so I speak to you sisters, if you’ve never felt enough because you didn’t have a father’s hand to guide you and affirm you, let me tell you that You are MORE than ENOUGH because your Heavenly Father and His fullness lives within you.If you’ve never felt beautiful enough because your earthly father never told you. I will tell you this. Your Heavenly Father intimately and fearfully knitted you in your mother’s womb and kissed you with a kiss of internal beauty that glows externally because you are loved by the God of beauty.
The hurt may still be there but if there is one this I can say, God does ALL things well. Only in God’s hands will a father’s absence in our lives turn around and there still be a presence of joy, love, affirmation, provision, care and commitment because we know Him and are known by Him.
I pray that this Father’s day for you my sisters will remind you are more than enough and you’ve become and are becoming everything that God wants you to be regardless of an earthly father’s presence. He loves and adores you and desires for you to see yourself as “Daddy’s Little Girl.
