Psalm 103:12-14
New International Version (NIV)
12 as far as the east is from the west,
so far has he removed our transgressions from us.
13 As a father has compassion on his children,
so the Lord has compassion on those who fear him;
14 for he knows how we are formed,
he remembers that we are dust.
Today is Father’s Day, a day set aside to remember our own fathers and to make the day special for our husbands. One thing that stands out about my father was how easy it appeared for him to sacrifice for his kids.
Daddy loved pork chops, but he would not think of having a second pork chop until he knew his kids had all been satisfied. Similarly with pie or cake, Daddy would have never taken the last piece. It was just not in his nature.
I was blessed to have a father who loved me, so it is not difficult for me to understand God’s love. Some are not that fortunate, but I would like to tell you that you can still know a Father’s love. John 3:16 tells us that God so loved the world, that he gave his only son, that whoever believes in him shall not perish, but have everlasting life.”
If you have not known the love of your heavenly father, then Father’s Day is a great day to begin that new relationship with Him.
Father God, as we anticipate another Father’s Day, let us set aside some time to focus on you, to thank you and praise you for all you have done in our lives. In Jesus’ name, Amen.
