Daddy’s Little Girl
This is for the girl whose heart aches to be “daddy’s little girl”. This is for the girl who stands tall every day, as “daddy’s little girl”. This is even for the girl who has been so hurt by her daddy that the thought of being “daddy’s little girl” angers her. No matter which girl you wake up to be, I pray that you know in your heart the “daddy” that sees you as his little girl and loves you and WANTS you every day. This would be your Abba (daddy) in Heaven.
Growing up, I was the girl whose heart ached to be daddy’s little girl. I do have an amazing earthly father and I am blessed to have him because he fought for me, my mom, and my brothers and sisters every day. He fought the battle of depression and unemployment every morning when he woke up in order to make sure we had the best life possible; the endless list of things we wanted and plenty of food on the table. This took a toll on my dad that I didn’t understand. His love was not perfect, neither was mine, but that was what I was looking for, love. Today I know my dad loves me, but back then I went on a search for someone to love me.
Thankfully I have found that PERFECT LOVE in Jesus. No matter what our earthly daddy’s are like, we all have access to the perfect love of our heavenly daddy! The Bible tells us in Jeremiah 29:14 that we will all find our daddy in Heaven. I remember the first day I found Him, it was the same day I felt wanted for the first time in my life. I am very certain that God wanted me, because I read about how he fought for me. He fought the enemy, and WON the same day He rose from the dead. If God did not want us to be born, he would not have fought our battle for us. Why did God fight for YOU? Simply because He wanted you just as you are! You did not need to be a certain way for Him to want you, all you ever have to be is the YOU he created. He knows the plans that He has for you. He wants to fulfill His plans in YOU.
It is hard sometimes to come to terms with God’s love, mainly because there are no terms to the love He always has and ever will have for us! There are no conditions, excuses, imperfections, or manipulation in His love. There is only hope, and grace, mercy, forgiveness, and complete joy in His love! His love is better than an earthly father’s love for us, because it covers all of our hurts we go through in this life. It even covers the hurts that have been caused by the father we have on Earth. With God, we do not need to win Him or His love, He has already won us. Even if we have the world’s best dad, there will be times that you just do not feel wanted or loved by him. You never have to feel that way with God. He wants you; He desires to hear from you, He aches for you to find Him.
Uncertainties will come your way, but when they do you can know without a shadow of doubt that you are God’s little girl. Our Heavenly Father created YOU and chose YOU for good, (Isaiah 44:2) and has written YOUR life in His book, before YOU were even a thought in YOUR mother’s womb (Psalm 139:13-16)! That is love. That is something worth getting excited about!
Let’s Pray:
Lord, I ask that as we start really getting into this study, that we accept that you want us every day, just where we are Lord. I pray that we are able to find you just where we are, every day. I thank you Lord that you have chosen each one of us for a specific purpose. I thank you Lord that your perfect love showers us daily! Thank you that as your “little girls” we are loved, taken care of, wanted, and chosen!
Love,
Diane 🙂
