Fatherhood Divine

Our Father, Heavenly Father, Abba Father,
I call You My Father.
You, my dear, loving Father,
Are the perfect expression of Fatherhood;
You are ever present, affectionate, supportive, instructive and a good listener.
Your children are uncountable,
Yet the hair on their heads can be counted by You.
Your family is innumerable,
Yet You make out time to listen to everyone of Your children.
It would take more than a villa or country home to house Your children,
Yet Your exquisitely designed mansion,
Has plenty of rooms for all Your children.
Precious in Your eyes are Your children,
Even when they don’t deserve it,
You go above and beyond for them.
No wonder no one can harass Your children and get away with it.
What a superb, unparalleled Dad you are!

You, my dear, loving Father,
Are the perfect expression of Fatherhood;
It is for this and many other reasons You stand unequaled as a Father;
While other fathers are fast asleep,
You are wide awake tenderly watching Your children.
You accept and embrace those earthly fathers have
forsaken, abandoned and thrown out!
You cope with failures, weaknesses and offences others can’t tolerate,
Yet in Your incomparable, immeasurable love,
You find a place to correct and discipline us.
You are kind to us, but You don’t pamper or spoil us,
You are firm with us, but not a harsh taskmaster,
You meet our needs not indulge our wants,
You are everything and so much more a father should be
You, my dear, loving Father,
Are the perfect expression of Fatherhood.
