Many of you have a loving mother, a matriarch, a grandma, or someone that raised you. Some of you don’t. But many of us, myself included, did not have a good earthly dad. I’m so sorry that happened to you. To this day, this Father’s Day, I feel a twinge of sadness, sometimes to the point of fighting the beginning of tears.
Our dads, biological fathers, etc. failed us, many times, in spectacular ways. I know I sometimes project the failings of my father onto God. But you don’t have to. If you accept Jesus as Lord, receive him as Savior, you have God as your Father. He will never abandon, never forsake, and his grace, his lovingkindness to you, will never end. So I encourage you today on this Father’s Day, to turn to Jesus, accept Him, and begin a relationshp, the relationship we were designed to have since before we were created, before we were knit together in our mother’s wombs. If you are a Christian, or a believing Jew, you have the Father. If today is hard for you, as mine may be, cling to the Lord, let Father God hug you, hold your hand, and maybe even pick you up and set you on his shoulders.
The Lord bless you. I hope that helps.
