A Father Can Be A Place of Refuge

Posted on June 22, 2012 by Sharon Rose Gibson

What kind of image do you have of God the Father?
Do you see Him as warm, loving and compassionate or angry and distant?

The last couple of weeks before this Father’s Day, my Father God drew me once again to the truth of who He really is and not my perception of him.
