A FATHER'S LOVE

Titus 1:4 ERV "To Titus, a true son to me in the faith we share together. Grace and peace to you from God the Father and Christ Jesus our Savior."

Do you know why we have more epistles of Apostle Paul in the Bible? It's not because he loved to write or simply because he had so much knowledge and revelations, it's because as a spiritual father he was always concerned about the welfare and spiritual condition of his children. He wrote to guide his children, to encourage them, to caution them and to bless them.

Every time Paul wrote, he started by blessing his children: "Grace and peace to you from God the Father and Christ Jesus our Saviour." And he also let them know that he always prayed for them, that they were always on his mind and that he was eager to see them again. He was a true father and I don't think anyone would not desire a father like him.

If you have been privileged to be a father then you must be a father indeed. Fatherhood is a calling! It is the responsibility of fathers to produce a greater generation. Being a father, you must learn to reach out to your children even if they are the worst; the father of the prodigal son ran to meet his son while he was still far away! You must never disown your children; you will give account to God. Forgive as God forgives you. Pray for them and bless them always. Manifest the love of God to your children.

May God bless all fathers in the world!
