Father’s Day – a day to celebrate Dad.
As I sit here and think about my own life and my own father – I must say, and yes, this is coming from a daughter who was estranged from her dad numerous times in her life – “being a father is one of the toughest jobs in the world” – especially being a good father.
With sadness I must say I lost my dad at an early age of adulthood. I was a young mother and it was a tough time for us all.
However, what I’ve come to truly understand and appreciate over the years, is that yes, with everything in life there’s a time and a purpose for what we go through.
In this case, after my dad passed I had my first true encounter with Father God, and yes, it was and it still is exciting. As I began to push through Scriptures, and no, not run away – I found that He’s truly unlike any dad I’ve ever known. He’s never upset or angry when we’re late and we don’t call. No, He waits patiently for us to come home to shower us with His mercy, and yes, with His grace.
We’ve all strayed through the years. It’s not always been easy for any of us. As a matter of fact, some of what we’ve been through has been a downright scary. Yet, none of that matters, for yes, His glorious fatherhood is that great lighthouse that draws us in from the dark storms and raging seas.
So yes, as we celebrate not only our earthly father, we celebrate our Heavenly Father as well. And yes, it’s time for us to step up to the helm, make the move, and yes, turn this ship full throttle to the shore, while yes, allowing Him to be the beacon that draws us safely into harbor, rather than the waves that keep us lost at sea.
It’s time to go home to where we know that we know that we know – we are safe.
We are love by love Himself. He loves us big and He loves us strong, and yes .. love wins period
“As a father shows compassion to his children, so the Lord shows compassion to those who fear Him” Psalm 103:13
