Michael Card's Reflection on the Impact of Father's Approval
The insight highlights Michael Card's song 'Underneath the Door,' where he seeks his dad's approval by pushing drawings through the door. This longing for his father's approval impacted his life. Card realized his father was a good man who couldn't separate himself from his gifts. Many struggle to differentiate between their gifts and their true selves. This struggle is exemplified in the story of the janitor in the hospital who reassured LaCray that God's love defines him. The janitor's message of being hidden in Christ resonates with the deep need for affirmation and identity. Whether through spoken words or lyrics, the reminder that one is beloved and pleasing is a powerful and essential message for many.
