We’re all about helping you to navigate the challenging seasons of life and reminding you that you are loved more than you could ever imagine by the Father.
That’s why I created this graphic quiz. I used to love these in teenybopper magazines where you find out what hair color you should wear or what celebrity crush best suits you.
I hope we’ve achieved a bit more depth with ours than those did. We want to help you discover a message your heart needs at the moment from the father. Different seasons call for different messages and reminders, so we pray you get a little encouragement regardless of your current circumstances.
You Are Never Alone
Everyone struggles with feeling lonely from time to time. It is a universal feeling that no one enjoys. Loneliness is a lie though. You are never ever alone. The Father is with you always. I love Psalm 139 where David is realizing and confessing that if he’s doing great, the Father is there. If he is doing awful, the Father is there. If he’s surrounded by goodness and sunshine, the Father is with him. If he chooses to make his bed in dark and sketchy places, even there, the Father remains. There are times where we may struggle to sense the Father’s presence with us, but the truth remains: He will never leave us.
“Haven’t I commanded you? Strength! Courage! Don’t be timid; don’t get discouraged. God, your God, is with you every step you take.” Joshua 1:9 MSG
My father and mother abandoned me. I’m like an orphan! But you took me in and made me yours. Psalm 27:10 TPT
“Do not yield to fear, for I am always near. Never turn your gaze from me, for I am your faithful God. I will infuse you with my strength and help you in every situation. I will hold you firmly with my victorious right hand.” Isaiah 41:10 TPT

You Can Do Hard Things!
If you are anything like me, getting yourself in over your head is a superpower of yours. We sign up for much, or we build up expectations to unrealistic proportions. Sometimes it’s not even our choice. Life decides to hand us more than we saw coming.
Next thing you know you’ve completely exhausted your energy and resources, and you just want to crawl into bed and hide from all of it.
Here’s your good news: When you’ve exhausted your energy and resources, you still have access to your Father’s! Think huge projects children bring home from school. If they’re in over their heads and overwhelmed, who steps in to aid them? (Or sometimes just do the whole thing for them?) Parents! Your father will help you! With His help and resources, there is nothing you can’t accomplish.
And I find that the strength of Christ’s explosive power infuses me to conquer every difficulty. Philippians 4:13 TPT
Pour out all your worries and stress upon him and leave them there, for he always tenderly cares for you. 1 Peter 5:7 TPT
When you pass through the deep, stormy sea, you can count on me to be there with you. When you pass through raging rivers, You will not drown. When you walk through persecution like fiery flames, you will not be burned; the flames will not harm you, Isaiah 43:2 TPT

He Is A Good Father
I love adoption. I love when a family chooses to take in an orphan. It’s so beautiful when you choose to give your name to a child you did not birth, and you commit to love that child as if you had. Adoption changes the trajectory of a life. It takes someone who has been given up or taken away, and it calls them wanted, valued and significant. The Father has adopted us. He has chosen to give us His name. He has committed to loving us the way He loves His own child. Jesus. He loves us like He loves Jesus! Our Father has changed the trajectory of our lives. He now calls us wanted, valued and significant. He is a really great Father. He cares about your life. He is interested and invested in all of the details of your day to day circumstances. He loves you on your best days, and He loves you on your worst, and He is with you through them all.
To the fatherless he is a father. To the widow he is a champion friend. To the lonely he gives a family. To the prisoners he leads into prosperity until they sing for joy. This is our Holy God in his Holy Place! But for the rebels there is heartache and despair. Psalm 68:5-6 TPT
He heals the wounds of every shattered heart. Psalm 147:3 TPT
Look with wonder at the depth of the Father’s marvelous love that he has lavished on us! He has called us and made us his very own beloved children. The reason the world doesn’t recognize who we are is that they didn’t recognize him. 1 John 3:1 TPT

You Are Loved And Accepted
This is always a message your heart needs to hear. This is the message I will spend my life trying to convey to people. HE LOVES YOU! HE LOVES YOU! HE LOVES YOU! I know firsthand how challenging a message that is to accept and hold on to. He loves you regardless of your circumstances or the condition of your life. He loves you when your life is great, and He loves you when it is messy. He is crazy about you. You are loved unconditionally!
But Christ proved God’s passionate love for us by dying in our place while we were still lost and ungodly! Romans 5:8 TPT
So now I live with the confidence that there is nothing in the universe with the power to separate us from God’s love. I’m convinced that his love will triumph over death, life’s troubles, fallen angels, or dark rulers in the heavens. There is nothing in our present or future circumstances that can weaken his love. There is no power above us or beneath us—no power that could ever be found in the universe that can distance us from God’s passionate love, which is lavished upon us through our Lord Jesus, the Anointed One! Romans 8:38-39 TPT
God told them, “I’ve never quit loving you and never will. Expect love, love, and more love!” Jeremiah 31:3 MSG
