In this episode, we talk about the difference between earthly fathers and our perfect Heavenly Father. For some, the word “father” brings comfort and love. For others, it brings memories of absence, pain, or disappointment. But here’s the truth: God is not a reflection of the father you had—He is the Father you’ve always needed.

Scripture reminds us that He is “a father to the fatherless.” His love is gentle, patient, and without end.

Key Takeaways:

  • God is not a reflection of your earthly father, but the perfect Father.

  • He is a Father to the fatherless (Psalm 68:5).

  • His love is patient, gentle, and never-ending.

  • You are not overlooked—you are chosen and held by God.

👉 Don’t forget: You can also download our free devotional, “Mind, Body & Soul,” designed to help strengthen your walk with God through Scripture, prayer, and practical habits.
