“Fear not, little flock, for it is your Father’s good pleasure to give you the kingdom.” Luke 12:32
As we celebrate Father’s Day, I am reminded of my unseen Father, who has guided me through life’s trod with His love and care. Almighty God has been a constant presence in my life, even though I cannot see Him. Through every prayer, He listens and provides guidance beyond human comprehension. Psalm 103:13 says, “As a father shows compassion to his children, so the Lord shows compassion to those who fear him.” This verse perfectly describes how God treats us as His children.
During a difficult time in my life, I turned to prayer and meditation for strength and guidance. One day, as I was walking in the park, feeling overwhelmed with my problems, a butterfly landed on my shoulder. It stayed there for several minutes, allowing me to observe its intricate wings and delicate movements. At that moment, I felt a sense of peace and comfort wash over me, as if God was reminding me that even amidst chaos and turmoil, there is beauty and grace to be found.
Matthew 6:26 says, “Look at the birds of the air: they neither sow nor reap nor gather into barns, and yet your heavenly Father feeds them. Are you not of more value than they?”
Dear brethren, I want you to know that God loves us unconditionally and always wants what is best for us. Even when we make mistakes or go astray from His path, He never abandons us but continues to guide us in the right direction. The ultimate Father figure in our lives – God. He has been a constant presence through the good times and the bad, always lifting us when we fall and standing by our side through it all. His love for us is unwavering and unconditional.
John 10:28-30 serves as a reminder of God’s enduring love. It reads, “I give them eternal life, and they shall never perish; no one will snatch them out of my hand. My Father, who has given them to me, is greater than all; no one can snatch them out of my Father’s hand. The Father and I are one.” This passage highlights God’s promise of eternal life for those who believe in Him and surrender themselves to His will. On any special day and every day dedicated to fathers everywhere, let’s not forget our Heavenly Father, who has always been there for us. Amen. Philippians 4:20 says, “To our God and Father be glory forever and ever. Amen.”
Prayer:
Father, thank you for your love and mercy in Christ Jesus. You have shown me that you care about my well-being and that I am worthy of your love and favor. Amen.
