Father Knows Best

Isn’t it nice to watch a young father playing out in a yard with his children? Or a dad carrying his sleeping child from the car and into the house is another scene I watched a while ago. More and more we are seeing dads and their children playing happily together. However, there is another picture of fathers, those who have no time at all with their children. They barely look at a little boy’s report card or something he has made all on his own. When I look back in time I see a little girl with her piano book, wanting her daddy to give her a piano lesson. I went through two grades of piano by myself. I am thankful that he bought me each graded book, but he never gave me piano lessons.

I know that at the time I was little, dads didn’t spend much time with the family. But he knew best on every decision that was brought up. My dad spent almost no time with my brother and me. It really wasn’t his fault because he was the pastor of three churches and so was barely home at all.

Let me introduce you to your Father. He is always there, night or day. He wants to answer any problem you have. He started this world, its mountains, oceans and all things like trees, green grass, oh just everything! Best of all, He loves you. Even the worst criminal, he loves and wants him to love him too.

If you knew Him you would feel someone was there listening to you. That someone is your Heavenly Father, and isn’t it great to have God to talk with when you are all alone? Oh, but I wish every one of you knew Him. You can, you know. All you have to do is quietly ask him. He wants you, he really does. And, Father knows best.
