A father’s presence (or lack of presence) has a lasting impact on their children's lives. Our fathers are meant to be guides - throughout the life of a daughter, a father will function like a compass, pointing her in the right direction. He will nurture, offer praise, give feedback, secure and provide a sense of direction and purpose.Without this guide, women experience substantial loss. Thankfully, God our Father provides guidance.
