Matthew 6:9-13 NKJV

[9] In this manner, therefore, pray: Our Father in heaven, Hallowed be Your name. [10] Your kingdom come. Your will be done On earth as it is in heaven. [11] Give us this day our daily bread. [12] And forgive us our debts, As we forgive our debtors. [13] And do not lead us into temptation, But deliver us from the evil one. For Yours is the kingdom and the power and the glory forever. Amen.

Happy Fathers Day to all the fathers out there, doing their part to raise up the next generation. It's a huge task and success sometimes seems fleeting. But, no matter your failures, your status as a “father” never changes. And the truth is, no matter how you fill this role, your children will still love you. 

There is another Father we often forget about in this special day, our God the Father. From the moment He created man, His role has never changed. Unconditional love radiates from His Spirit onto all of us, and that love never ceases or changes, regardless of our actions. What a perfect example He gives us as earthly fathers. 

Today, I encourage you to take a few minutes to thank the God of all creation for His love, wisdom, and perfect example of the Father He desires for us men to be. God bless.
