God Is A Girl Dad
Journey with me as I discover what it means to experience God not just as Savior and Provider, but as a loving Father. One who protects, corrects, and comforts like the ultimate “girl dad.”
I came across this phrase online a while back, “God is a girl dad.” At first, it sounded sweet, but over time, it started to mean something much deeper to me.
In this season of my life, God has been revealing Himself as a good Father, one who knows me, nurtures me, and continues to show up for me in the most personal ways.
I’ve always known Him as my Savior, the one who rescued me from darkness and, honestly, from myself. I’ve experienced Him as my Provider, making a way for me time and time again. I’ve known Him as my Protector, shielding me from seen and unseen dangers, some that I got myself into and couldn’t find my way out of. He’s been the Mender of broken hearts and the Healer of wounds I didn’t even realize were still open. He’s been my Peace, my Sustainer, and my Comforter in every storm.
But this season feels different. For as long as I can remember, I’ve heard songs like “Good, Good Father” or read verses about God being our Father. Still, I never fully experienced Him as mine until now. With complex earthly father dynamics, this revelation hit in a way I didn’t know I needed.
God showing himself to be my Father hasn’t meant a season of endless blessings or always getting what I want.
It’s been one of conviction and correction, of Him lovingly confronting my disobedience while covering me with grace. It’s been intimate and intentional, from answered prayers about the smallest things like getting my favorite spot in a workout class, to the bigger moments of career uncertainty where He reminded me that His timing is perfect and His plans are better than mine.
He’s been teaching me surrender, showing me that when I let go of what I want, He’s already preparing something better. He’s been reminding me of where He’s brought me from and how He’s made me whole, even when the enemy tries to make me question that truth.
And then there’s the beauty of community.
God has surrounded me with sisters who love deeply, support genuinely, and remind me why sisterhood is the best kind of hood. He’s teaching me that obedience is better than sacrifice and that there’s always something meaningful on the other side of “yes.”
Some days, I feel lost or overwhelmed, but even then, He comforts me.
He’s helping me choose myself, reminding me that He’s been choosing me all along.
I’ve come to realize that my desire to please Him isn’t about perfection, it’s about love.
He’s been gentle with me. Patient with me, and overly kind to me. He’s given me far more than I deserve, and even when I fall short, His grace still surrounds me.
This season hasn’t been easy, but it’s been beautiful, full of growth, stretching, and learning. And through it all, I’ve seen God show up as a Father who truly loves His daughters. No matter how old I get, I’ll always be His little girl.
God is a girl dad.
