THE FATHERLESS

fatherlessness

Don’t assume the fatherless will be dysfunctional parents for lack of parental influence.  Parenting is mastered by connecting with the fatherhood of Abba Father.  Furthermore, fatherlessness can actually prepare for parenting:

“So now it was not you who sent me here, but God; and He has made me a father to Pharaoh.”  ~ Genesis 45:8

It was Joseph’s fatherlessness in prison that prepared him to be a father to Pharaoh.  In prison, Joseph had to find God as his Father.  That’s what made him a father to Pharaoh.
