How to…Be a Father

Fathers, remember the overwhelming emotions you felt when your first child was born. Fear, joy, and uncertainty all at once. Those moments in the hospital are a powerful reminder of our responsibility. As we step into fatherhood, we need to turn to God's manual for guidance. It's not just about being a father in name, but embodying godly principles in our daily lives. Being like Jesus, being doers of the Word, and training our children in His ways are essential. Pray for them, protect them, provide for them, and spend meaningful time with them. Discipline them with love, without provoking anger, and show compassion, just as our Heavenly Father shows us.

Today, I urge you to embrace these tenets of godly fatherhood. Your actions and faith are the foundation on which your children build their understanding of God. Let them see Christ in you. As we strive to fulfill this divine calling, remember that God is merciful and offers us new beginnings. Let's commit to being the fathers our children need, leading them to a life of faith and righteousness.
