America observed Father’s Day this month with calls, visits, cards, gifts, and family outings.

For many it was a day to celebrate a strong, loving, wise dad; for others a time set aside to honor his memory.

Not everyone could celebrate the day. Perhaps Dad was abusive, unloving, maybe not even in the picture.

I have good news for all; there is a Father who deserves our honor and praise. His love knows no boundaries; His mercies are forever. He has no favorites.

“I will be a Father to you and you will be sons and daughters to Me, says the Lord Almighty.” 2 Corinthians 6:18

My dad was an alcoholic. One minute he may be loving and kind and funny.  The next, totally opposite. Many of you can relate. We want to be loved. We wonder what we did wrong.

The greatest Father in the world wants only good for us.  He created us to have fellowship with Him. We can trust Him with our deepest secrets and greatest joys.

“… you are our Father, we are the clay, and you are our Potter, we are the work of your hand.” Isaiah 64:8

The greatest Father in the world always guides, directs and disciplines his children in love. He will never, ever forsake His children. We can trust Him.

Read 2 Samuel 7:14-15. Father God’s discipline is for my good. He will never remove His love from me. For 100 Bible verses about God, our Father, click here.

The greatest Father in the world cares for the widows/widowers and fatherless. His love and compassion knows no bounds; we cannot do anything to cause Him to love us less.

“… blessed be the Father of mercies and God of all comfort, who comforts us in all our affliction, so that we may be able to comfort others …” 2 Corinthians 1:3-4

Do you know Him? Do you spend time with Him? He loved you so much He sent His only Son to pay for your sins.  “For God so loved the world, that he gave his only Son, that whoever believes in him should not perish but have eternal life.” John 3:16

Join me in honoring the greatest Father in the world, this day and every day.

Hugs,

He is preparing a place for His children to be with Him forever (John 14:2). Want to know more? Drop me a note; I am praying for you and your family during these trying times.
