For my father and my mother have forsaken me, but the LORD will take me in. Psalms 27:10
Early in my walk as a single mother, I was bitterly grieved at the thought of raising my child on my own. More so, I was grieved at the thought of my daughter not having a consistent father in her life. I remember praying one day and opening up the bible to read. I asked God to minister to me and meet me in the place of my grief at that moment. This is the verse that I opened up to. What a mighty word of deliverance God gave me! God showed me that day, that no person in this life, including myself, can mean more to my child than Him. At that point, I committed myself to giving my child Jesus. He IS a father to the fatherless and a mother to the motherless. God is not only what me child’s father chose not to be for her, but God is also what I can’t be for her. He is her everything. He is my everything. He is your everything. I realized that my relationship with God would make the biggest difference in both of our lives–not there presence of her father; not having money to provide for her; not anything materialistic. But God! He’s not just my daughter’s Father. But He’s my Father too. And He loves and cares for both of us just like a Father. ❤
