Your father.

A woman's heart is so tender and sensitive. She is uniquely made to be emotional; feel deeply and love fully. When she has been hurt or broken, she can fly off into a world of irrational torment like a fish flaling out of water. There is no rhyme or reason to the outburst accept that her heart has been poked and broken.

The source of her pain is her father.

He doesn't mean to hurt his daughter, but he is only human. He is flawed. He has blindspots that usually have good intentions but mostly at the expense of his little girl's feelings. He wants to do his daughter good and not harm, provide for her and give her the world, but in the end, he is neglectful and shut off. Years and years of feeling like she is talking to a wall, sometimes screaming to space and finally she herself shuts off, no longer to care. She may eventually look to her boyfriends for validation then one day look to her husband to fill the void, but what she truly wants is to be heard and be seen. She wants a strong man to lead her and guide her. A strong Christian man to point her to her true heavenly Father because her earthly father is imperfect and oblivious. She wants someone to say she isn't crazy, she is normal, she is allowed to feel pain. She wants someone to acknowledge the guilt eating away at her heart for being a cold daughter. She wants to grab hold of a hand that will pull her out of the darkness.

Only God the Father can do that.

He is waiting with arms open wide. His hands are reaching out. He wants His beautiful daughter to come into His arms and cry if she needs to cry and talk if she wants to talk. He wants to tell His daughter that no earthly man will ever make her feel loved, heard, adored, special, treasured, beautiful the way He can make her feel.

God is the perfect Father and we have a hard time seeing God as Father when our earthly fathers fall short of the perfect picture.

Every women feels jipped by her earthly father is some way. Some women don't have a father or any male figure at all. Some women don't have a boyfriend who cares or a husband who prays and to those women, I would say in your darkest moment of pain where your tender heart feels broken, lay on your bed and cry to God the Father, tell Him your pain. To the women who do have a significant other in your life, I would say ask him to pray with you and then go spend time by yourself with God. Your earthly father, your boyfriend, your husband is never going to give you what you want nor can he give you what you need.

But I will tell you it's . . .ok . . .to . . . FEEL . . .pain.

Your heart reflects the heart of God and He already knows exactly how . . . you . . .feel and He STILL loves you and thinks you're beautiful. He sees the pain you feel and He wants to comfort you.

We women may not be strong or logical like men, we may be more on the sensitive emotional side, but we have the delicate beauty that allows us to feel others' pain deeply and love others fully. I tell you, there's a lot of positives in being a woman. We hold a special place in God's heart as His special girl.
