What is a father?
A father is that man that a son looks up to.
The man that the son someday wants to be as he looks on with young eyes full of admiration and wonder at this amazing man that can do anything and seems to fear nothing in this world. Yes, this is what a father is to the young boy growing up who sees his father as invincible and unshakable, and capable of doing any task put before him.
A father is who a son looks to for protection.
As a child realizes the dangers of life, he looks for a place of refuge, a safe place. A father’s arms is that place where the child feels safe and protected from the perils of life.
A father is a source of unconditional love.
In a world that can be cold and indifferent, a fathers unconditional love is a constant that a child can depend upon. Though others may fail us, though friends walk away, though all the world be against us, a father’s love still remains.
A father represents our Heavenly Father
As we have been created in His image, and are His offspring, I believe that our earthly father’s love bears the image of our Heavenly Father’s love.
