THE HOME AND MOLESTATION, Part 1.
Charity they say begins at home. The home gives the foundation and this is why I love the scripture that says, “if the foundations are destroyed, what can the righteous do?” (Psalm 11:3)
For a female child, her father plays a key role in deciding her view of men. So I believe that there is a connection between a Father and a daughter.
God created us male and female and created marriage for companionship. Even a relationship between a man and a woman has a special thing it does in one’s life. For a lady, the truth is that her first love is her Father.
She learns everything that she needs to know about men from her father i.e, how to relate with a man in the exact way God has created it.
A child should be able to receive free words of affirmation from her father which is very important and a lot of fathers do not recognise their roles in their daughter’s life. They are supposed to show the daughter what it means to be a man, how to protect a woman, and how to love, so the daughter will know what love and protection should look like.
A lot of times we see young ladies that have low self-esteem and are excessively timid, if you look deep into their backgrounds, you would find out that they probably never got a word of affirmation from their fathers and that has fueled their insecurities alongside that feeling of unworthiness.
The Father is like a God figure to the daughter. A Father is supposed to be a priest, a provider to the children. If this is missing in a child’s life it will show.
I will tell you a short story,
When my mom gave birth to me, my Dad came to the hospital and the first question he asked was, “what is the sex of the baby?”
When He was told, he was disappointed and left the hospital. My Dad wasn’t happy and this affected my Mom for a long time. She was constantly bringing this up in my presence and this made me feel unloved and a sense of just being tolerated.
I remembered when my mum and I would go to our family hospital, the nurses who were witnesses to my Dad’s attitude would call me “oh my God” mimicking my father’s exclamation when he saw me.
I would laugh but they were unaware of the effects their jokes had on me.
Fathers please love your girls and affirm them, this is one way of securing them from predators who have dastard intentions.
