Today, our thoughts turn to the first man in our lives... our fathers. It's Father's Day! Amidst all our busyness with life's demands and things that call for our attention, let's pause to give thanks for the fathers we know.
Whatever your emotions may be when you think of your Dad, there is one way to be able to celebrate this day, and that is with thanksgiving and gratefulness in our hearts.
In his book, ‘Touching The Father's Heart’, Pastor Cesar Castellanos said that, "The highest position a man could ever aspire to have in life is to be a father". I know this is the aspiration of my husband and the father of our three children! And I believe that it is the desire of every father to be the best father to his children.
The greatest Father of all is God. He is the Heavenly Father who is LOVE, and who teaches us daily how to love like Him. He wants to deposit that Father's heart into each one of us, so that we can love like Him. When we come to know God as our Heavenly Father, He can fill every empty void in our heart and give you a new starting point in your life.
“Therefore, if anyone is in Christ, he is a new creation; the old has gone, the new has come! ” (2 Corinthians 5:17). Yes, He makes all things new and that includes your relationship with your earthly father.
Let's pray for all the fathers today! Pray that they will find their joy in the Lord and delight in their roles as leaders, nurturers, mentors, teachers and builders, not just of their children, but of the next generation!
