Father's Day


 "The father of the righteous will greatly rejoice, 
And he who begets a wise child will delight in him" (Proverbs 23:24 NKJV) 
Father's Day. What memories of a special dad. He went to be with the Lord 7 years ago. He was the pillar of the family and his primary goal was to teach his children God's Word, and require obedience.

Many children do not have good memories of a dad. And because of that, they also do no have a good conception of God. They see God as the Big man with harsh judgements. They do not see the loving arms that want to embrace them. God is firm, and there are repercussions for our sins, but under all that is love and it is covered with Grace.

Am I a wise child? Am I bringing delight to my father? Agape was delighted this morning when Promise handed him a coloring page of a guitar that she had colored. Then wrote on it "I love you daddy." His smile to his little girl was worth a thousand words.

Give love and respect to your father. There may be a day that you not have him anymore. So make sure he knows you love him, not only on Father's Day, but every day.

God bless you
