Some
kids know their dad. Some don’t. But we can all
know the best Dad—God, our heavenly Father!
God
our Father is the one who is:
· Daddy to us all, creating us in His image and
meeting our needs through the wonder of His creations.
· Loving, never turning His back on us, but
waiting patiently for us to reach out to Him and experience His blessing,
forgiveness, and validation as worthy sons and daughters of God.
· Honest and faithful, even when we are not,
holding to every promise He has written in our heart and in His Word.
· Transformative, giving us salvation in
Christ, the Holy Bible, the Holy Spirit, and communion with Him as tools to
save us from sin-nature into reflections of His glory.
Children
will learn these truths to combat any false perceptions they may have of
fatherhood because of what they have experienced in their family relationships.
They will have the opportunity to see if they have opened their hearts, their
minds, and their lives to the redemptive power of Christ and the Holy spirit in
order to identify as and be known as the sons and daughters of God.
