The “unsung heroes” of today are the fathers who love the Lord, love their wife, and love their children. These are the men who are more influential than any sports figure, Hollywood celebrity or government official!
However, if you are a father who perhaps has not started well – be encouraged that ultimately, it is not how you start, but how you finish that matters most. And it’s not too late for you! By God’s grace you can finish well and here’s how: behind the Gospel is a Father. And just as we cannot produce life without someone else. We cannot produce our own meaning in life without someone else. The Heavenly Father purposed our lives to have companionship with Him- that’s why Jesus came. Jesus demonstrated the Father’s love for you through His death (conquering sin), and bodily resurrection (conquering death) and He stands ready to comfort, heal and empower your life…
What burden, pain or brokenness are you carrying today? Bring your pain to THE Father. Jesus said, “I am the way, the truth, and the life and no man comes to the Father except it be through me!” (John 14:6). Your children need you. Your children’s, children need you. Yes, you are on the “front lines” of life, but don’t even think about deserting – because the Heavenly Father madly loves you, fights for your highest good and nothing is too hard for Him.
Be that hero today by making the decision to follow Jesus!
Happy Father’s Day to all the Father’s!
