What a dad needs

4 September 2020

In a world full of so much beauty, pain, grace, mismatched attempts to get it right, sin, and forgiveness, we read Paul’s words in 1 Timothy:

Here’s a word you can take to heart and depend on: Jesus Christ came into the world to save sinners. I’m proof—Public Sinner Number One—of someone who could never have made it apart from sheer mercy. And now he shows me off—evidence of his endless patience—to those who are right on the edge of trusting him forever.
1 Timothy 1:15‭ (MSG)

As a dad, I have gotten wrong and I have gotten right. Still, to this very day, I count it a privilege and an honour to have had the opportunity to become a father to two awesome young ladies. As a dad, I need God’s help; I need His grace and wisdom to work in, and through, me. So in the good, the bad, and (hopefully not too often) the ugly, let us as dads allow God, the good, good, Father, help us.

God bless you one and all,
Dony
