Some who are filled with empathy don't have a solution to this problem. We are having conversations and making suggestions and although we admit that a father's love is fundamental to one's development, we cannot specifically make a case by case assessment of it's impact on each life.
Every situation is unique. Our sorrows, sufferings, and pain are specific. How do you fill a deep emptiness and answer its longing? Acknowledging a problem is the first step but it is not a solution. Facing the raw reality of rejection is too much without resolve or redemption. It's too much!
There is One who has proclaimed His love so boldly that He has given everyone the opportunity to call Him Father. In fact, the nature of His relationship precedes that of a biological father because before we were formed in our mother's womb He knew us (Jeremiah 1:5).
He was intentional about getting us here and watching us blossom into men and women who would realize an unfailing love. Our acknowledgement and acceptance of Him answers our deep longing for a love that is unconditional, as well as assures us of our worth.
We can never been inferior or superior to any person because all were created in the image of God. His love is lavishly demonstrated in a God's willingness to sacrificed Jesus Christ so that we could be reconciled with Him. Jesus' love is not pushy but yet He beats at the door of our hearts wooing us to Himself. He stands and knocks, open the door, welcome Him in and He will enter.
God never leaves us due to His omnipresence. He is always there even in the darkest and loneliest hour. Call up His name and and you will be saved from a hemmorhaging heart because He, and only He, can make you whole from broken pieces. When we accept God's love and realize that He is the loving Father who never leaves and will never forsake. He is the One who loved us most.
God's love goes beyond words. It's demonstrat-ed by the cross. He did it by giving us His best while we were at our worst. He gave His only Son, Jesus Christ to die for our sins. Sin is when we miss the mark, not by our standards, but by God's perfect law.
Only an unblemished and perfect sacrifice could be made in our place and Jesus willingly died a gruesome death on a cross, for this reason His name is the name of love. Jesus. He did not die because He had done wrong, but for our wrongs. The veil of separation between man and God the Father was completely ripped apart by Christ. His triumph over the cross gave us access to God the Father.
Jesus knew our needs were great. His earthly ministry ended so the person of the Holy Spirit could fill the hearts of men and women who believed on Him (John 16:7). God's great Comforter is expressed in the person of the Holy Spirit that leads us to truth (John 16:13). He is like an internal GPS (global positioning system), navigating us to hope and healing so that our lives will accomplish the Father's will on earth.
Jesus Christ sits next to God the Father where He makes intercessions for believers. The Holy Spirit is making intercessions for believers(Romans 8:26). Inspite of all the beauty in the world God chooses to dwell by the Holy Spirit in human temples.
If you sow a seed of faith in your heart the size of a mustard seed, by receiving God's love through Jesus it will bring forth a sizeable tree. It's branch will bring shade for what is beneath in your past as well as a resting place for whatever is beyond it in the future. It's roots will run deep to stabilize. No longer will you search for love on shallow ground when you are filled in the deepest place.
When we really settle the point of believing God by accepting Christ, everything changes. You are loved extravagantly by the Creator and Sustainer of the universe. He is the only One who does not sleep or slumber and you are the apple of His eye. While an earthly daddy may not comes into your life, your "real" Daddy, God the Father, is eager to hear your voice and to speak to you!
He is the One that we can always call upon as Father, Abba, or Daddy. If a boyfriend, husband, or friend has left it's okay. God the Father is the One who never leaves. The God man, Jesus Christ, is the One who loves you sacrificially. He gave His life for you. The Holy Spirit is the presence and power of God that lives within a believer of Jesus. The triune God is the power packed solution to bind every wound of the brokenhearted.
For every empty place there is a God who knows, cares, and can fill it. He brings hope and healing to a bleeding heart like no other. He is the Father that every girl dreams!
A middle age wife and mother told me her story. She said I never had a father. My mother was a single parent back when it was a shameful thing. Even as a child I felt the shame of not having a father.'
The lady went on to say, 'My grandmother told me if you make one step, Jesus will make the rest. I was concerned about walking the aisle to ask Jesus into my heart because all those people would be looking at me, the fatherless child. I was a young girl and I didn't understand what my grandmother was saying at the time but one Sunday I made one step forward and Jesus met me there.'
She looked at me and her emotion was as real and raw some thirty years later. She said, 'From that day forward, I have always had a Father!' This woman's testimony is the solution to fatherlessness. Our Father which art in heaven...He is the one who heals the brokenhearted and binds their wounds.
According to Oprah's Lifeclass, 21 million kids grow up without his or her father. Shouldn't we spread the good news of Our Father's love?
When I truly know that God loves me, by His amazing grace, His love can fill every empty place!!!
