OUR HEAVENLY FATHER is at this very moment being slandered and misrepresented all over the world by man's cruelty and selfishness. Not only in the home... but in all forms of human government. His laws of love have been ignored and our mangled hearts continue on in carrying out injustice to all those smaller and weaker than ourselves.

WHAT HORROR IS GOD SEEING at this moment? A bedroom door bursts open. A small boy is slapped awake by a drunk and angry man in the middle of the night. "The sprinklers are still on. It's a flood. I'll teach you, boy!" The terrified child is beaten mercilessly by the dark, hulking shape of a man he calls "Daddy."

A FIFTEEN-YEAR-OLD PROSTITUTE with blank, empty eyes, mechanically performs through a night of degradation on Hollywood Boulevard. She doesn't care what happens to her. She hasn't felt clean since she was molested... by her own father.

A WOUNDED GENERATION STUMBLES through their youthful years... only to visit the same hurts on their own children. Generation after generation it goes on. Is there no one to comfort us? Who will father the children of the world? ONLY GOD! A BROKEN-HEARTED FATHER who is rejected by the little ones He yearns to heal. Our problem is that we, like the browbeaten puppy... shrink away from the one who we assume will be like the other authorities in our life. But He is not! He is perfect love! It was God who gave this command to parents in Ephesians 6:4,

"PARENTS DON'T KEEP SCOLDING AND NAGGING YOUR CHILDREN, MAKING THEM ANGRY... AND RESENTFUL. RATHER, BRING THEM UP WITH LOVING DISCIPLINE... THE LORD HIMSELF APPROVES."
