To the Fatherless on Father's Day


I've enjoyed scrolling through our Facebook newsfeed and reading the great tributes to all dads out there! I can echo many (and have) that I have been blessed by God in having a godly father. 



 As a tribute to my godly husband and our fathers, I made this collage!






But......as I kept scrolling down, my mind wondered toward the many who grew up with no father, or maybe a father who was in and out of their lives frequently.  Or perhaps their father was in their homes, but you wouldn't know it, because he was always gone or preoccupied with work and social activities.  Maybe he went to church but his lifestyle at home was complete opposite what he was "Amen-ing" on Sunday mornings....



No earthly father is perfect, but if you trust in Jesus Christ as your personal Savior and Lord, you have a Holy/Heavenly  Father who loves you WITHOUT conditions (unconditionally).  

Psalm 68:5 "A father of the fatherless, a defender of widows, Is God in His holy habitation."
