A Father's Legacy

It is what we do and what we have done before our children that directs them how to live. It is a godly example that leads our family in the right direction. If we are not leading according to the Word of God; then we are leading our families down a road of destruction and disarray. I have seen the importance of a godly example and how we all need to make a commitment to our family and their well-being.
Make a legacy worth following. I want to follow in the footsteps of my Heavenly Father, and set an example worthy of Him. My children are gifts and they mean so much to me, and if I don't set a godly example in front of them then I am failing them and only hurting them. I want to bring them up "in the nurture and admonition of the Lord."

A father is given a place to lead,
He is given a purpose and a need.
A purpose to live and to love,
And a need to ask for strength from above.

We cannot take this role lightly,
For we must grasp His Word tightly.
For His Word holds the key to eternal life,
So pass it on to your children and your wife.

I am a son of my Heavenly Father,
I will bring them in His love together.
My sons and daughter listen well,
And hear of Him and you, He will not fail.

Abba, Father

Father, I need you now. I want my Father's arms to surround me with love. He cares so much for His children, that sometimes He needs to chastise us. A child without discipline is an unruly one. The Lord guides us like an earthly father leads his child.

I call on the One who brought me into this world, and the One who will bring me safely home. We are not promised a hassle-free life, but we know that the Lord will help us to overcome life's obstacles.

He never leaves us to ourselves. He loves us a father and mother love their children.

Jesus Loves the little children
All the children of the world
Red and yellow black and white
They're all precious in his sight
Jesus loves the little children of the world

Whether you're rich or whether you're poor
It matters not to him
He remembers where you're going
Not where you've been

Jesus loves the little children
All the children of the world
Red and yellow black and white
They're all precious in his sight
Jesus loves the little children of the world

If you're heart is troubled
Don't worry, don't you fret
He knows that you have heard his call
And he won't forget

All around the world tonight
His children rest assured
That he will watch, and he will keep us
Safe and secure

Jesus loves the little children
All the children of the world
Red and yellow black and white
They're all precious in his sight
Jesus loves the little children of the world

We need to have a child-like faith, so that we can understand how much He truly cares for us.
