About
I AM AN 80 YEAR OLD MALE, BORN AGAIN, CHRISTIAN WITH A LOVE FOR JESUS. I DO NOT GET OUT MUCH ANYMORE BUT FIND THAT TELLING PEOPLE ABOUT THE LOVE JESUS HAS FOR THEM IS NOT ONLY WHAT WE ARE SUPPOSED TO DO BUT SOMETHING THAT THE WORLD NEEDS.

"A LOOK AT FATHER'S DAY" BY DAVID MCMILLEN
A LOOK AT FATHER'S DAY
HAPPY FATHER'S DAY TO ALL YOU DADS OUT THERE. I HOPE YOU ALL HAVE A BLESSED DAY AND THAT YOUR KIDS WILL SHOW YOU THE HONOR THAT THE LORD HAS COMMANDED.
LET'S JUST TAKE A LOOK AT FATHER'S DAY AND WHAT IT MEANS. WELL, THE DICTIONARY SAYS IT IS "A day set aside in honor of fathers". BEING A DAD IT FEELS GOOD TO HAVE A DAY WHERE YOUR FAMILY CALLS, TAKES YOU OUT FOR A MEAL, OR EVEN GIVES A GIFT. HOWEVER, FOR ME, THE GREATEST THING IS THE LOVE THAT IS SHOWN ALL YEAR, NOT JUST ONE DAY.
THERE ARE SOME KIDS THAT DON'T EVEN TALK TO THEIR DADS. I KNOW SOMETIMES IT IS THE DAD THAT CAUSES THIS PROBLEM BUT HE STILL IS YOUR DAD. MY DAD AND ONE OF MY BROTHERS WERE LIKE THIS. IT WAS SO BAD THAT WHEN MY DAD HAD A STROKE AND WAS CONFINED TO BED, MY BROTHER STOOD OVER HIS BED AND TOLD MY MOTHER THAT IF THAT OLD MAN DIED, DON'T BOTHER CALLING HIM.
CAN YOU IMAGINE THE HURT IT CAUSED MY MOTHER? I AM NOT SURE WHAT MY DAD THOUGHT ABOUT HIM SAYING THAT BUT IT POSSIBLY HURT HIM TOO. FRIENDS, THIS DOESN'T HAVE TO HAPPEN. WHETHER YOUR DAD WAS GOOD TO YOU OR NOT, THE BIBLE SAYS IN ONE OF THE TEN COMMANDMENTS TO "Honour thy father and thy mother: that thy days may be long upon the land which the Lord thy God giveth thee." IT DOESN'T SAY IF YOU FEEL LIKE IT OR IF HE HASN'T DONE ANYTHING BAD, IT SAYS TO "HONOUR" HIM. FORGIVE HIM IF HE DID SOMETHING THAT HURT YOU. IT IS YOUR CHOICE.
SOMETIMES IT TAKES FORGIVENESS FIRST BUT YOU CAN DO IT. YOU WILL ALSO NOTICE THAT THIS COMMANDMENT IS THE ONLY ONE WITH A PROMISE WHERE IT SAYS THAT YOUR DAYS MAY BE LONG UPON THE LAND. I DON'T KNOW ABOUT YOU BUT I WANT MY DAYS HERE ON THIS EARTH TO BE LONG. CALL YOUR DAD TODAY AND WISH HIM A HAPPY FATHER'S DAY. YOU BOTH WILL FEEL BETTER.
NOW FOR THE BIG QUESTION, HAVE YOU TOLD YOUR HEAVENLY FATHER HAPPY FATHER'S DAY? HE DESERVES THE MOST HONOR OF ALL AND THERE ARE SOME PEOPLE, EVEN CHRISTIANS, THAT NEVER TELL HIM HAPPY FATHER'S DAY. ACTUALLY, HE IS THE ONLY ONE YOU SHOULD BE CALLING FATHER ACCORDING TO MATTHEW 23:9 WHERE IT SAYS "And call no man your father upon the earth: for one is your Father, which is in heaven." ALTHOUGH I KNOW MY DAD WAS MY EARTHLY FATHER, I NEVER CALLED HIM THAT, EVEN BEFORE I KNEW I WAS NOT SUPPOSED TO. HE WAS ALWAYS JUST A DAD TO ME.
WE ALL NEED TO TAKE SOME TIME OUT OF THIS DAY AND HONOR OUR HEAVENLY FATHER. SPEND SOME TIME IN FELLOWSHIP WITH HIM AND TELL HIM YOU LOVE HIM. SING PRAISES TO HIM AND WORSHIP HIM. HE DESERVES ALL THE LOVE, PRAISE, AND WORSHIP WE CAN GIVE HIM. WON'T YOU DO THIS TODAY FOR HIM?
GOD BLESS YOU ALL.
