Today, men around the world are celebrated for their fatherly roles. Many will receive gifts of appreciation for being an awesome dad. Love gestures will be shown for the love given over the years. This day is known as Father’s Day in America. While thinking about this day, God, thank you for being faithful, thank you for always showing loving-kindness. Thank you for unconditional love, for being caring, for healing, for making a way when we saw no way. Thank you for being you. Thank you for saving me. I couldn’t allow this day to pass by and not give the Greatest Father the honor that is due his name. We are his children, and we have been adopted into his family forever. Now if we are children, then we are heirs—heirs of God and co-heirs with Christ, if indeed we share in his sufferings in order that we may also share in his glory. (Romans 8:17). We are God’s children. We are not orphans left without parents. God loves us and desires that not any of his little ones shall perish, but all come to repentance. His love is indescribable and unimaginable. He is the Father to those of us who trust in his name, his will, and his leading. We have identity in the Lord. You are his son. You are his daughter. For I am convinced that neither death nor life, neither angels nor demons, neither the present nor the future, nor any powers, neither height nor depth, nor anything else in all creation, will be able to separate us from the love of God that is in Christ Jesus our Lord. (Romans 8: 38-39)
Our Father in heaven,
hallowed be your name,
your kingdom come,
your will be done,
on earth as it is in heaven.
Give us today our daily bread.
And forgive us our debts,
as we also have forgiven our debtors.
And lead us not into temptation,
but deliver us from the evil one.
For yours is the kingdom and the power and the glory forever. Amen
