Fathers

It bothers me nowadays when grown men playing the role of grown men don't act as fathers should.  we are called and committed to be a shining example of gods love to our children.  It seems more common anymore to see men who do everything but show gods love.  It breaks my heart knowing some kids will grow up without a father, or will grow up with a father who lives according to the standards of the world.  It breaks my heart knowing still some fathers have the mind to get a woman pregnant, then ditch her because she got pregnant.  My god bless the man who sticks around for the sake of the child.   My god also bless the man who in dating a woman who has a child already, and instead of running from that situation he embraces that child as his own.

Deuteronomy 6:1-9

New Living Translation (NLT)

A Call for Wholehearted Commitment

6 “These are the commands, decrees, and regulations that the Lord your God commanded me to teach you. You must obey them in the land you are about to enter and occupy, ² and you and your children and grandchildren must fear the Lord your God as long as you live. If you obey all his decrees and commands, you will enjoy a long life. ³ Listen closely, Israel, and be careful to obey. Then all will go well with you, and you will have many children in the land flowing with milk and honey, just as the Lord, the God of your ancestors, promised you.

⁴ “Listen, O Israel! The Lord is our God, the Lord alone.^{[a] 5} And you must love the Lord your God with all your heart, all your soul, and all your strength. ⁶ And you must commit yourselves wholeheartedly to these commands that I am giving you today. ⁷ Repeat them again and again to your children. Talk about them when you are at home and when you are on the road, when you are going to bed and when you are getting up. ⁸ Tie them to your hands and wear them on your forehead as reminders. ⁹ Write them on the doorposts of your house and on your gates.


Father i pray that you would give me the mindset, the hands and feet you would want me to have.  Help me to be the example of a godly father that my daughters deserve.  Oh father i pray that by my actions and words that my daughters want to have a personal relationship with you.  I want to be a very bright light to them, that they might dedicate themselves to you.  I pray that by my actions that they eventually find a godly husband who treats them like you would treat them

in jesus name, 

amen.
