Father's Day

Romans 8 says we have the privilege of calling God our Daddy! Not everyone has the blessing of having a good dad. There is no such thing as a perfect earthly dad which means every dad has hurt their own children. Sometimes the hurt occurs not knowing what to do or what is expected, sometimes it occurs because a dad is just having a bad day and ultimately because everyone has weaknesses. In order to help us "get over our hurt" our Heavenly Father has become the "perfect daddy" to everyone who is willing to be adopted by Him. We all have a choice; accept or reject Him and His love. The enemy to God is the devil. He rejected God and now wants everyone to reject God too. Everyone makes choices everyday, hundreds or even thousands of choices. I ask that you honor your Heavenly Father not just tomorrow but everyday and while you are at it make sure and thank Him for giving you your earthly Father. If he has hurt you intentionally or not, forgive him and honor him for giving you life. If you are a male you may well walk on the other side of the fence as an earthly dad yourself someday and understand that being a dad is not an easy job especially when you fail sometimes not even knowing how you did wrong. And dads if you have hurt your kids "man up" apologize to them and follow the example of your Heavenly Father and love them the same when they are good and when they are not. If your Heavenly Father can do that for you, surely you can do that for the flesh and blood you help create.
