Who's Your Daddy?


I'd like to start with saying HAPPY FATHERS DAY!!!!! I absolutely love my dad, he's my rock. My hero. I praise God for him all the time...but I'd also like to say I love my Heavenly Father!! My Lord is the best father I could ever ask for, He has never failed me and has never hurt me. He is a true Hero, having died for me. He is the best dad I could ever ask for, even though I think my earthly dad is pretty great too ;)

Sometimes Fathers Day is a hard day for people, because either their dad wasn't a good father to them, or because they don't have a dad. If that's you today, I'd like to first say I'm sorry. Both of those scenarios bring heartache, and I'll like to extend to you God's love. He loves you and He wants to be a Father to you, the Dad you never had. Let Him take care of you, and shelter you. Psalm 121:5-8 says: “The Lord is thy keeper, the Lord is they shade upon thy right hand. The sun shall not smite thee by day, nor the moon by night. The Lord shall preserve thee from all evil, He shall preserve thy soul. The Lord shall preserve thy going out and thy coming in from this time forth, and ever forevermore.”

How encouraging is that!? The Lord is my keeper. The Lord will preserve me from evil. The Lord will watch my going out, and my coming in. The Lord is YOUR keeper. The Lord will preserve YOU from evil. The Lord will watch YOUR going out, and YOUR coming in...and the best part? He actually wants to do all that for you. Cool right? I think so! I find it pretty amazing actually, that someone cares for me that much, that someone will never fail me and will be there for me every time I ask. God is never too busy for us guys, even though sometimes our earthly dads may be.

I hope this speaks to you, and that you can accept Jesus to be your Savior..to be your Dad. I know there may be pain and scars in your heart from your earthly dad, but God wants to heal those....He wants to put His loving salve on your scars and relieve your pain. Let Him today.

Happy Fathers Day, and I pray you'll allow the Lord to hang out in your heart and be the Father to you that He wants to be.

God bless, and blog soon
