Whether you had the best dad or the worst, we all carry wounds from our earthly fathers that sometimes spill over into how we see our Heavenly Father. The truth is simple but profound: we're hurt in relationship, and we're healed in relationship. You can't do it alone.

The younger son had to face his shame. The older son had to name his pain. The father had to extend grace that wasn't fair - because grace never is. When we have the courage to name our hurt and invite healing, we open the door to restoration. Jesus went through abandonment on the cross so you'd never have to face your pain alone again.

Healing isn't found in isolation or running away. It's found in coming home, in community, in relationship. What pain do you need to name today?
