Father’s Day can be an emotional day for many of us. Our relationship with our earthly fathers can have such sever effects on our lives, both for the positive and the negative. Some of us have fathers who have passed on and we are morning their loss, others have fathers who have moved on, and their absence is deafening. Others have never known their father. Some of us have been imprinted by our fathers with such blessing and stability. It’s as if their strength has become our strength, their ways our ways, their faith our faith, their character our character. And still others have been imprinted by their fathers in different ways. Profoundly negative ways. Wounds that are very real, and in some cases hard to speak of. Then into the picture comes another father. He is nothing like your earthly father. Even the greatest of earthly father’s pales in comparison to him. He is kind, faithful, patient, available, he provides materially, emotionally and spiritually. He listens and understands, he sees you and knows you. He helps in our times of need and heals in our areas of brokenness. He is never far off. He is our heavenly Father. Today I thought it would be most helpful for us to spend our time talking about this Father. The one and only Good Father. It’s good for us to talk about him. Because we all need some rewiring in how we perceive him. If we don’t allow his word to reveal to us what he is like we may fall into incorrect thinking of what he’s like. We all have the tendency to relate what our earthly fathers or some other authority figure is like to what God is like and that is simply not the case. Our parents, teachers, leaders, can show us glimpses of his character, but there is nothing like meeting him for yourself.Read more »
