Why You Need God: Six Essential Reasons

What happens when your earthly father experiences leave you with a distorted view of fatherhood? How does this affect your ability to connect with your Heavenly Father?
In this heartfelt exploration of divine fatherhood, I share personal reflections about my own father—a man of few words who prepared me for life's challenges by pushing me beyond comfort zones. Though my experience was largely positive, I acknowledge that many listeners may have grown up with absent, inconsistent, or even harmful father figures. These experiences inevitably color how we approach our relationship with God.
The beautiful truth is that God transcends the limitations of human fatherhood. Unlike even the best earthly fathers, He offers perfect love, guidance, and support. I outline six compelling reasons why we all need God in our lives: to know our inherent value, to trust in His perfect plan (Jeremiah 29:11), to experience His love and forgiveness, to receive His protection against visible and invisible dangers (Ephesians 6:12), to access His healing power, and to rest in the assurance that nothing can separate us from His love (Romans 8:38-39).
Whether your earthly father was present or absent, loving or distant, God stands ready to fill that void with perfect fatherly love. Take the first step today in developing this life-changing relationship—He's been waiting for you all along.
