I believe in Jesus, but I’m not healed by my father. When pastor mark said that the e father was already well pleased before his son did anything, that was so astonishing to me! For me I always had to achieve to gain my earthly fathers tenderness

Watching this as a woman who didn't have a great relationship with her dad and is navigating widowhood while trying to figure out how to raise my little one for God. This is just what I needed to hear. God is my Father and my child's Father and He's the one whose hand we hold as He takes us on this new journey. "Father of the fatherless and protector of widows is God in His holy habitation." - Psalm 68:5

I am becoming aware of the pain my husband has caused since abandoning me his wife of 24 yrs & our son...
I am believing The Lord's will be done... I have peace & contentment....it can only be I believe cause I have forgiven my husband...The Lord got me to this point all I had to do is forgive & keep trusting my saviour

Something more churches need to teach! This will truly free men from
Their past pains.
It will release the anointing God is waiting to give them.
So God our father can heal us and launch 🚀 us into the destiny and purpose he has for us!!!

I recognize my father wound (and how deep it is), but I cannot identify my dad among your 6 types.
1. Legitimately missing (death, military service, etc.). No, my dad was living and at home throughout my growing up.
2. Abandoning. No, my dad stayed with my mom and the rest of the family until he died. He didn't "go out with the boys" or anything like that. He was home all the time, and faithful to my mom even after their divorce.
3. Drill sergeant. No, my dad did not act like a tough coach. We didn't know what his expectations were. He neither criticized nor praised our efforts in anything.
4. Tender but no backbone. No, my dad was not tender. He hardly spoke to us, and at times he didn't even respond or acknowledge when one of us spoke to him. He seemed not to be comfortable with physical affection (hugs and kisses), sometimes not even with my mom (even if he was not the one who initiated it).
5. Tolerable but not outstanding. No. I'm convinced my dad had serious issues, which affected us. At least 2 of my brothers mentioned to me that they were considering suicide or wishing they were never born; I had seriously tried to find a legal way to get adopted out into a different family.
6. Leader/protector. No, he didn't lead or protect us. For example, when we were old enough, he wanted us to work, but gave us no guidance about how to get a job. If something negative happened, us kids had to handle it on our own. When one brother's coat was stolen from his school locker, he asked dad if insurance covered it. Dad didn't even bother to check.
My dad was usually completely shut down. He didn't show emotions except if he was angry (usually bitter), but he was not violent. When I came home from college on Christmas break, he did comment to me that he wasn't happy with the way ANY of his kids turned out. My first emotion (my heart) was hurt; my first thought (my head) was "Zero for seven is not a good record, coach." There was nothing for me to say to him (so I didn't say it). That's when I gave up trying to connect with him.
(I am meeting with a Christian counselor for help in working through my own issues from all this.)
