A child is a precious gift from God, a blessing that brings joy and fulfillment to parents. As fathers, it is our responsibility to support and care for our children, without any prejudice of their birth.Firstly,
the Bible teaches us that children are a blessing from God. In Psalm 127:3-5, it is written, “Children are a heritage from the Lord, offspring a reward from him. Like arrows in the hands of a warrior are children born in one’s youth. Blessed is the man whose quiver is full of them.” This passage emphasizes the value and importance of children in our lives.
Furthermore,
the Bible instructs fathers to take responsibility for their children. In 1 Timothy 5:8, it is written, “Anyone who does not provide for their relatives, and especially their own household, has denied the faith and is worse than an unbeliever.” This verse highlights the importance of providing for our children’s needs, regardless of their birth circumstances.
In addition,
the Bible teaches us to love and care for our children unconditionally. In Matthew 7:11, Jesus teaches us, “If you, then, though you are evil, know how to give good gifts to your children, how much more will your Father in heaven give good gifts to those who ask him!” This passage emphasizes God’s love and care for us, and our responsibility to reflect that love to our children.
Moreover,
the Bible encourages us to be involved in our children’s lives. In Proverbs 22:6, it is written, “Start children off on the way they should go, and even when they are old, they will not turn from it.” This verse highlights the importance of guiding and directing our children in the way of the Lord.
Finally,
the Bible reminds us that our children’s destiny is tied to our obedience to God’s commands. In Deuteronomy 28:32, it is written, “Your sons and daughters will be given to another nation, and you will wear out your eyes watching for them day after day, powerless to lift a hand.” This passage emphasizes the importance of obeying God’s commands, including the command to care for our children.
In conclusion,
the Bible teaches us that children are a gift from God, and as fathers, it is our responsibility to support and care for them, regardless of their birth circumstances. We are called to provide for their needs, love and care for them unconditionally, be involved in their lives, and obey God’s commands to ensure their well-being and destiny. Let us embrace our role as fathers and bless our children with the love and care they deserve.
HAPPY FATHER’S DAY TO ALL FATHERS ACROSS THE NATIONS OF THE WORLD
