Fathers Day~
Tomorrow is Fathers Day, and women and children across our country will celebrate the men in their lives that have stepped away from the freedom living their lives only for themselves into a world where they live their lives for an idea that is greater than themselves, into the idea of family.
The world glorifies the idea that men should be independent, and live a free-wheeling, devil-may-care life that makes them feel good, and look good, often at the expense of those around them. Boys watch movies that glorify this kind of life, where dating a woman has become a game of conquest and aquisition, where it is admirable to 'love her, and leave her', where getting her pregnant and leaving her to deal with the aftermath has become an acceptable form of 'birth control' for him, with no regard for her feelings or needs. This is the life of a boy, not of a man.
This was never God's plan for men. When a boy decides that he wants to become the man God intended he accepts responsibility for his own life, and for the lives of his wife and children, willingly and without reservation, he is ready to become the father that God desires him to be.
God does not ask men to do anything that He has not Himself done. Got the Father willingly gave His own Son to death, for the purpose of securing eternal life for His Kingdom, by paying the penalty for the disobedience of the first members of that Kingdom in the Garden of Eden.
Satan is the father of lies, and would have men believe the LIE that God has asked too much of them, and that it is impossible for them to become the Father He is. God is the Father of truth, and directs men to become fathers in His image, and then give them the strength of character to accomplish this task
On Father's Day remember to include God our Father in the celebation!
