Happy Father’s Day.
I’m reminded this Lord’s Day that God’s identity as Father offers dads like me a profound model that transcends mere instruction; it redefines what fatherhood means at its deepest level. Every family derives its name from God the Father (Eph 3:14–15), which means my role as a father participates in something cosmic and eternal. If you’re a father you’re not inventing fatherhood; you’re reflecting it.
The encouragement here is this: if you’re a dad you don’t stand alone in your fatherhood. Parent-child relationships are designed to teach us by analogy our precious relationship to God — our true Father — in Christ. As you love your children imperfectly, you’re pointing them toward the perfect Father who loves them infinitely. That’s your true calling.
Today we celebrate dads—the ones who show up, love deeply, protect, lead and point us toward Jesus. 💛
To every dad, stepdad, grandfather and father figure: thank you for the way you love well. 🙏
