My father, He is the best in the whole universe. He is loving, gentle, patience, kind and good to all his children. He’s out of this world and there is no one like Him. The father I am speaking of is God, my heavenly Father.
My heavenly Father has never let me down. I have relied on him since I was a child until now, I will always love and need him, no matter what. I know He will always be here for me.
Earthly fathers are a wonderful gift from God. Some fathers are wonderful awesome dads and some don’t know how to be a dad.
As a child I grew up not having a great earthly dad. I didn’t know my dad. He wasn’t around much in my life. My parents divorced when I was seven years old.
A couple years later my mother remarried so I had a step dad, that wasn’t a good thing. He was an abusive man physically to mother and us three girls and sexually abusive to me. Some step dad’s are great and loving to their children, however this was not our case.
As a child I wanted a daddy who would love and protect me and make me feel special. A daddy who would hold me on his lap and treat me like a princess. One who would speak loving kind words and encourage me in my everyday life. Where would I find a father like that?
My heavenly father took over and was the daddy I needed. When I would be upset and cry or need a hug His warm love would surround me and His peace would comfort me. His word would speak to me and be the encouragement I needed in my life. His son Jesus was my best friend, my savior and deliverer.
Some days I felt like a princess and some days I felt like a slimy dirty frog. My best friend Jesus always came to the rescue, He was always there to help and deliver me especially from my own emotions within. The Holy Spirit would come and bring comfort, peace and discipline as my father spoke His word to my heart. If I felt like a princess or like a frog my daddy’s unconditional love was there for me.
The wonderful thing about my father is He wants all his kids to experience his unconditional love. Let the father of all fathers pour his love on you, open your heart and let Jesus Christ his son fill you with His love and forgiveness.
For God so loved the world that he gave his one and only Son, that whoever believes in him shall not perish but have eternal life.
John 3:16 NIV
Let God’s word speak to your heart, let the Holy Spirit bring comfort, peace and direction to you in your everyday life.
The presence of your heavenly father will protect and deliver you from the plans of the evil one. Your life will not be perfect however the one who gives you the strength, courage, peace, hope forgiveness and love is perfect and able to keep you in his loving care. Embrace the father’s love for it is great toward us. He is the best dad in all the universe!
