We often tell ourselves that our faith is built solely on the scriptures we read. But the truth is, most of us were 'reading' our parents long before we could read a Bible. We learned what 'Father' or 'Caregiver' meant from the people who held us (or didn't). This blessing is for the part of you that is tired of trying to fit God into a mold that was cast in your childhood. It’s for the brave work of looking past the 'God of your upbringing' to find the God of Love.
