Where are the Fathers? The real men. The true breed of men. Who do not neglect their children, their wives and responsibilities. The chaos that the absence of this breed causes is heartbreaking and pitiable. Young people these days feed on that false media representation to see what a man should be like. Young men battle self acceptance and people approval daily because they had no real man to show them how to grow into a responsible man, how to treat a woman. There so many women that I know now that they don't know how to treat their husbands or boyfriends because they never had a real man in their life growing up. No father to guide them and give them that verbal affirmation a woman needs. It really hurts. I have seen some of my friends battle bitterness, anger, impatience, and commitment issues because they are still hurting from that "Absent Dad Syndrome". The absence of real men brew a life time packed with pain, a tortured mind. You will be surprised the demons after the mind of children who has that father vacuum opened in their lives. But God....
As for God, His ways are perfect; His words are flawless and He is a father to those who take refuge in him. A father to the fatherless, husband to the widow. He says what he means and means what he says. He never leaves you nor forsake you. "He said can a mother forget the baby at her breast and have no passion on the child she has borne? Though she may forget, i will not forget you". People say change is constant, I say God is constant. You really don't have to fight for His acceptance- He had accepted you before you were born. He is the only one who can perfectly fill a absent dad vacuum. The only medication for "ADS". Behold what manner of love the father hath bestowed upon us, see what great love the father has given us in naming us children of God; and such we are
Father, I just want to thank you for being the ever faithful father. You have the most amount of children, yet You juggle them all perfectly. Your love is so wide, so deep, I can't contain it, can't search it all. Thank you for being my father. You accept me in my sinful nature and slowly break evil habits from me. Yahweh! Jehovah you are great. I just want to use this opportunity to thank you for my earthly father. I thank you for keeping him, for making him a responsible man. As I metamorphosize into a woman i realize how much is presence in my life influences me. He is the benchmark for my husband. Thank you so much for keeping him. Please continuously shelter him under your pavilion. I pray that you feel the father vacuum in the lives of fatherless children. help them to know that they are accepted, they are favored, let your love encompass them. Help us realize that only you can feel it...only you can satisfy our soul. Love you deeply.
Happy Father's Day to all the real men out there!!!
