(Luke 15:20 NKJV)\u00a0 “And he arose and came to his father. But when he was still a great way off, his father saw him and had compassion, and ran and fell on his neck and kissed him.<\/p>\n
As we approach Fathers Day here in the USA, I wanted to send a little something for fathers around the world.<\/p>\n
As fathers, we have the awesome privilege and incredible responsibility of raising our children and being an earthly example of our Father in heaven.<\/p>\n
Being a parent is never easy. Being a father means that we are responsible for the children that God has blessed us with. We are to raise them up in the way they should go\u2026 longing after God\u2019s heart.<\/p>\n
Being a godly father is never something we should take lightly. It is a great responsibility and one that we need to give 100% to.<\/p>\n
I look back over the years and there are some things that I wish I had done differently\u2026 times when maybe I could have spent a little more time with my children or maybe been a little less worried about discipline and more concerned with giving love and praise.<\/p>\n
But God was always faithful to make up for my mistakes. He has taught me how to love unconditionally and how to be an extension of His hands and feet, even in the lives of my daughters.<\/p>\n
All the years of hard work were more than worth it and I now get to watch my children have children of their own and see the awesome miracle of life itself begin all over again.<\/p>\n
Fathers, give your very best to your children, even when you might not feel like it, or when you\u2019re tired out and think you don\u2019t have another bit of energy left to give. God gave His best for us and we need to do the same for those that He has blessed us with.<\/p>\n
I pray awesome blessings over the fathers today.<\/p>\n
