PATTERNING OURSELVES AFTER THE HEAVENLY FATHER

Ephesians 6:4 New King James Version
4 And you, fathers, do not provoke your children to wrath, but bring them up in the training and admonition of the Lord.

3 John 11 New King James Version
11 Beloved, do not imitate what is evil, but what is good. He who does good is of God, [a]but he who does evil has not seen God.

GOOD EVENING AND HAPPY FATHER’S DAY MY FRIENDS!!!
As we're celebrating Father's Day, and all good things that I believe mean a true godly father, I have to ask these questions from this morning’s devotional, and I pray that this will challenge all the godly men out there who are parents, to be better parents.

How do you see good parenting reflecting God’s nature?

I think good parenting that reflects God's nature, is based on someone who truly follows God's word in their daily lives, and their children see that genuine love of God in their parents, so that they'll want to live it out too.

Right now, I'd like to share some things that God showed me from His Word this morning, through this blog I’d like to share with all of you tonight, and I pray that what i share with you will encourage you to be the godly parent that God intends you to be. Come join me in this vlog tonight my friends and learn how to pattern yourself as a parent in God's ways, so that you are imitating Christ and reflecting His nature and everything that you say and do! 😊

So, my friends, as I close this post with all of you tonight, I want to leave you with this final question from this morning's devotional, and I pray that it will challenge you to be a reflection of, a pattern after God's way of parenting, and that you will be that reflection of God every day.

How can you reflect His nurture and protection to others today?

I want to challenge you to think about how you are as a parent, examine yourself before the Lord, and ask God to show you any area of your life, where you are not perfect as a parent period to show you areas where you are failing to imitate God's design as a parent, confess those sins to Him, and determined within your heart to be the parent that God intends you to be, not what someone says God says you should be. I also pray for those that didn't have a very godly example of a dad, for those that had an abusive parent, and this day is not a very fun day for you, that you will turn to the Heavenly Father, who not only wipes away tears, but that you can cling to. I pray that you choose to start patterning yourself after God's design for being a parent, and not what another says God says a parent should be, and that you live a life of honor and integrity in front of your children every day.

UNTIL MONDAY:

HAVE A VERY SWEET, BLESSED, AND TRANQUIL EVENING IN CHRIST JESUS!!!
