It’s nearing the middle of the year and this is the month that we celebrate Father’s Day.
As much as we would all like to go along with the theme of any holiday, many of these special days can bring up mixed feelings or even negative feelings. For example, some have lost loved ones or have gone through traumatic experiences during a holiday and, therefore, have a hard time wanting to celebrate. So, we can go along with celebrating Father’s Day (which is a great thing to do) OR we can take it all to another level by owning and prayerfully surrendering to God, any old hurt feelings. Otherwise, holding on to such wounds will likely re-trigger us each time the holiday comes around.
If our human father, or the male aspect of any person, has ever left us with feelings of hurt (in any way), it will impose limits on our experiences during this holiday, and obviously throughout our whole life. But we can surrender all the related emotions (old or new) to God, and allow the unfortunate and limiting memories related to our human father to be replaced with the joyful and unlimited life our Father in Heaven offers us.
Embracing a new life with our Real Father and Mother (i.e. God), also brings us the introduction to a new and healthier family—our spiritual family. It’s like “finding our long awaited tribe.” In this family/tribe, we have healthier and more effective healers, counselors, friends, lovers, and even the “wise one” of the tribe. So look around and see what this new life is bringing and be sure to give thanks, starting with having a great Father’s Day.
