Father

I am reading the book "Wild at Heart".
One of the most striking points that the author made was that of how many, if not almost all, men are most severely wounded by their own father.

You would have thought that your dad will be the one who believes in you when everyone else is doubting you.
You expect him to do so.
Coz when he does, you know that it ain't matter even if the rest are against you.

So when it turns out that he is siding with those who doubt you.
It hurts the most.
It kills off your hope.
It strips you off your courage and belief to be a real man.
Because the man who is suppose to show you how to be a real man, the one whose approval matters the most.. does not side with you.

He loves you.. yes. But a father's role is not simply to love and nurture.
He is more than just that. He is your assurance, stronghold, strength.
He leads you into adventure, he fights with you side by side, he shows you how to rescue a beauty.

When your father of flesh and blood can't do that, you only have one last source to hope for.
Father in Heaven.
The ultimate source, the original blueprint.

You.. must.. find.. Him.
