Read:John 10:27-30 My sheep listen to my voice; I know them, and they follow me. I give them eternal life, and they shall never perish; no one will snatch them out of my hand. My Father, who has given them to me, is greater than all; no one can snatch them out of my Father’s hand. I and the Father are one.”

Is “father” really a dangerous word? Unfortunately, for many of the children who come to Hope Unlimited, especially our girls, danger is exactly what that word connotes. Their fathers (or often stepfathers) are the ones who beat, sexually abused, or abandoned someone he should have been protecting. Only when they encounter the Father of Love do these children experience true healing. They begin to understand they do have a Father who loves them, who wants their very best, and who has a wonderful future plan for them.
