We often say “God is our Father,” but for many, that truth doesn’t feel real. It’s a title we affirm, not a relationship we experience. And when that relationship feels distant or distorted, our hearts suffer.
At Rock House Center, we’ve seen how a person’s view of God as Father directly impacts their ability to receive love, feel secure, and live with purpose. These are not abstract ideas—they are divine needs, placed in us by God and meant to be met in Him.
But if your earthly father was absent, angry, or conditional, it’s easy to project those traits onto God. You may believe He’s disappointed in you. Or that you have to earn His love. Or that He’s too busy to care. These false beliefs block the very connection your heart longs for.
In Be Transformed: New Life Awaits, we’re reminded that the law of the Spirit of life sets us free from the law of sin and death. That includes the emotional inheritance of fear, shame, and striving. When we allow the Holy Spirit to reveal who God truly is—our perfect, present, loving Father—our hearts begin to heal.
Romans 8:15 says we did not receive a spirit of slavery to fall back into fear, but a Spirit of adoption, by whom we cry, “Abba, Father.” That cry isn’t just theological—it’s deeply personal. It’s the sound of a heart that knows it is loved.
When you know God as Father, everything changes. You stop striving for worth. You stop fearing rejection. You begin to live from a place of peace, security, and identity. Your divine needs are no longer a source of pain—they become a place of connection.
