Today I have a special guest, Father Jacob Strand. We delve into the mysteries of God the Father's loving Heart. We take a look at some practical steps we can take to heal our hearts from father wounds. We also take a look at some practical ways our fathers can help us grow and how we can be reconciled and start fresh in our awareness of the father's love and how he gets his example from God the Father.
Here we take a look at the covenant love between God the Father and us. We start in the Old Testament and move to the New. The groundwork for the greatest love story ever told is laid before us and the foundation of our own love story and our part to play.
A Poem by Jacinta Wick –
I am. I was. I will be
Only one can…
Sharing suffering
Joy exceeding
Ever nearing
Always purifying
Never leaving
I AM is Lord.
It is important to remain in the Father’s love. When we do, then we can begin living from that place of love and receive the gifts He has for us. He shelters us here and protects us from harm. Giving us new vision, God draws us in and lovingly sustains us.

As newborn infants, we are brought into this world. We grow and change. The tendency to sin stays with us but, by baptism we die with Christ and come to new life. God wants to make a new story for us. So, we must be born again by water and Spirit. God gives us food to sustain us. He shelters us and He gives grace, bringing us into the Church, and into covenant relationship like in the Old Testament. The question is, do we accept only the gift or embrace the Giver?
We feel like we are in a dark room without the lights on when we are living from that wounded place in our hearts. Like Lazarus, we need the faith and hands of another to pull us into healing and wholeness and out of ourselves. We rest in the confidence that God the Father always hears our prayer and heals us from the father wound of a spiritual death caused by a catastrophic event or the consequence of my or my father’s sin.
