A Father's Day Reminder for Love and Understanding

• ON THE EVE OF FATHER'S DAY....SOMETHING IMPORTANT TO REMEMBER!! We often look to parents to be perfect when really they are they people, prone to shortcomings as human beings. I love to see great fathers, especially with daughters it brings me to tears every time I can't seem to help myself! It's not just sons that that need their father their daughters need them too, to model what a real man looks and how he is to provide and treat her as a lady. Many times both in my daddy's presence and now his absence in death, I longed for the relationship and more time, so many times our vices steal our most valuable asset away from us our time until all our time is all gone. Taking us away further and further away from the things that are really such as important God and family. Our relationship with God and a relationship each other especially in the parent -child bond and raising our children. But in areas were our father have fallen short as parents or we have fallen short as children towards our parents many times both are the case...where respect was in order on both sides and just wasn't given. Many of us are now parents and now know what a difficult job and a great responsibility our parents had in raising us. It not an easy task to figure out how to be a man when you didn't have father present to teach you what being man was...a mother is woman she can love you teach you, train you up as she can but what she can never to do is be a man God didn't create her to take the father's place. But even if your father didn't do their job in raising you God will hold them accountable for their wrongdoings, but we are no one's judge and love cover a multitude of sin and shortcomings. But I know this generational curses are real, if you were not raised by your father and now your not raising your kids that is a curse that must be broken...ask God and children for forgiveness and go home and raise your children. You need to know when forgiveness is due, forgiveness doesn't hold one captive to the memory of the offence forgiveness sets free the captive and the person that is sets free is you. Psalms 27:10- Even if my father or mother has left me the LORD will take care of me. Psalms 68:5 A father to the fatherless, a defender of widows is God in his holy dwelling. 6 God sets the lonely in families. Happy Father's Day, gentleman!!!
