Dear Patheos Friends, this weekend, we celebrate our incredible fathers! For many, this weekend can be a tough one, just like Mother\u2019s Day. Despite the toughness, we can intentionally pursue the Father\u2019s heart and find the sweetness of Abba Father<\/a>,<\/strong> that heals, restores and makes whole. I pray that this oldie but goodie re-post below on the heart of the Creator, His Kingdom purposes and fathers imprint on identity encourages you.<\/p>\n

Heart of the Creator<\/h3>\n These worldly patriarchy systems are not similar to the heart of the Creator- the One Who made man in His own image.
