God is now my real Father!

The year 2013 was a turning point in my life. Together with my husband, my path led to a Fatherheart
conference in Siikaniemi course centre. I came to an atmosphere where I could just be and receive the
message of God as my real Father who constantly loves me with perfect love.

A few years earlier, in my life that seemed so blessed before, painfully sad things happened. There were disappointments and giving up. One of these was the death of my father. It caused me to let out excruciating screams; Who would replace my father? Who would help me, think of me and love me like my own father? To whom would I now be a daughter? I was in great pain of fatherlessness and orphanhood, even though I was surrounded by other close and dear people.

My first contact with the “stream of love” set off a huge avalanche of different things in my heart. The fumbling thoughts and feelings that had been churning inside me for years began to be expressed. I was ready to taste and have another look at the foundation of my faith, the beginning of everything, the life and the promises. The entire Christian life that I had experienced up to that point, from childhood to adulthood, began to break free and take shape in a new form. The heavenly Father, whose hand I had always held, became a very close Papa to me. I gladly jumped into his arms, into the embrace of his strong and comforting arms. I felt like I had come back to where I came from.

During these more than ten years, all Fatherheart weeks and events have helped to confirm my experience
that I can safely trust God as my real Father in everything. He is a Father to me who is only good and
never makes mistakes. My position as my Father’s beloved daughter is secure. In his presence I dare to lay down the defence mechanism around my heart and be fully exposed, with no secrets. I can trust that my incompleteness and weakness are good soil for new growth and new hope. My understanding is not sufficient to grasp everything that is happening to me on this journey. That is why I have given the Father all authority to do his tender loving work in me, in my heart, in the way he wants. Handing over my whole spiritual well-being to my Father has freed me to continually receive peace, rest, love and comfort.
