The Lord who formed you does not want you to fear. He has redeemed you and called you by name; you are His! (Isa. 43: 1)
How wonderful it is to know that you are loved so much. I pray that you get the revelation that the almighty, the creator of the whole universe loves you as much as the nation Israel.
Jesus prayed that the love of the Father for Him might also be in you! (John 17) Can you even begin to imagine that the Father loves you as much as Jesus? It’s all because of the cross where Jesus gave you His name and identity. You have been made sinless and raised as co-heir with Jesus!
That means that you are seated at the right hand of your Father with Jesus, and can chat with Him about all your fears, problems and joys. You were created to have that kind of intimacy with Him.
He is the only one that knows you inside out and understands you perfectly. He ought to be your very best friend. Your Daddy can turn your whole life situation around in an instant. You may say that He knows everything about you already, and He does. However, He can’t communicate with you unless you give Him a loving, listening ear.
You may know all about God and have a powerful ministry, but does Papa know you? Or will He say that He does not know you? (Mat. 7:21-23; Luke 13:25-27) He longs for intimacy in the secret place, where you can unload everything that’s on your heart and express your love. It is the first commandment, and on that are all the rest of the commandments based. Read more... (502 words, 1 image, estimated 2:00 mins reading time)

Fathering
With the changing family dynamics in today’s culture, the father figure in a child’s life is being viewed more often as an option rather than a necessity. More often single parents are mothers with the child’s fathers being uninvolved, uninvited or uninterested in the welfare of their children. Somewhere along the way, society seemed to have embraced the missing father as normal, yet seems baffled by the abnormal behavior a child experiences because of an absent father.
According to the US Department of Health and Human Services, children with involved, loving fathers are significantly more likely to do well in school, have healthy self-esteem, enhanced emotional security and pro-social behavior compared to children with uninvolved fathers. The Child Welfare Information Gateway also cites a study which found children with good relationships with their fathers were less likely to experience depression.
While mothers will always be viewed as the necessary parent for child rearing, fathers have not been considered as important in recent years.
However, studies show that fathers often push achievement while mothers stress nurturing. Both are important to the healthy development of a child. Hopefully, the status of fathers will be elevated, but it can only come with improvement and consistent dedication from these fathers:
The Uninvited
Often men who want to be good fathers have an uphill battle if they are estranged from the mother. Some women will cut ties or make involvement difficult for the fathers since their adult relationship was not successful. The qualities which contribute to the making of an awful husband or boyfriend do not automatically transfer to create a terrible father. Read more...
