The Fatherless Journey for Girlsনমুনা

Think to yourself for a moment about what you believe love really is.

Many people differ on their opinion of love. For all of us love is a needed act or gift toward us. When we know we are loved our day is better and the sun seems to shine a little brighter.

What happens though when we do not feel loved? This is one of the most crucial parts of a fatherless individual’s life. Many of the bad statistics resulting from fatherlessness have a direct connection from the lack of love in the child or teens life.

No matter how unloved you may feel at times you should be comforted to know that Christ loves you. He loved you so much that He was crucified on a cross, stabbed in the side with a sword, spat upon, forced to wear a crown of thorns, mocked, and ultimately persecuted for most of his life.

He loves us so much that He died for us. Galatians 2:20 tells us that as Christians, we are crucified with Christ. Many times our lives will not be easy, but we can rest assured that no matter what problems we will face we have the ability to get through them simply by resting in the love of Christ.

Martin Luther said that believers are so deeply united with Christ that it's as though they have become one person with Him. This means we can confidently say we are one with Christ—His righteousness, His triumph, and His life now belong to us. Our connection with Him isn't limited to sharing in His death; we also partake in the power and victory of His resurrection.

We can allow our former selves, past desires, and old sins to die with Christ. Everything we once valued has faded away. Jesus understands you and loves you exactly as you are- broken, hurt, confused, and seeking love. He mends your wounds and heals the brokenhearted (Psalm 147:3).

Having been united with Christ through His crucifixion and resurrection, we can be assured of our complete love. We do not need to endure this challenging world alone; instead, we stand together as one. With Jesus, we are victorious, and He is always with you and supports you!

Let's pray... Dear Lord, I thank You for dying for me and for giving me hope of eternity in Heaven with You! I love You and thank You for loving me! Amen.
