First, there are many bad dads in the world . . . .those who are abusive or absent or just not engaged as they should be.
Is this you ?
Second, there are some good dads, Christian dads who try to reflect our Heavenly Father as best they can. Why ? Because they learn that their kids views on God in heaven, starts with their view of them. Consider these points . . .
#2, as fathers, we provide (do our share to pay the bills), we protect (we ensure our loved ones feel safe), and we persevere (our loved ones know, that no matter what, we are there for them). Do your kids believe this ?
#3, as fathers, we know God loves, guides and disciples us and we therefore do the same we with our family. Do your kids see this ?
So, do we reflect our God – our Father in Heaven ? We will probably never come close but that doesn't mean we should not try our best to do so.
"Start children off on the way they should go, and even when they are old they will not turn from it.” Proverbs 22:6
