The Love of the Father and the Son

The son does not receive the love of the Father because he deserves it, because his life merits it, or because his respectful living has earned it. The Father’s love is unmerited, undeserved, and unearned. It is extravagant, unconditional and freely given.

But he is not expected to put the children and wife above his job. The job comes first, and whatever is left over, he is free to do as he wishes. No wonder many fathers go home late from work, oftentimes while their children are asleep. Many of us have a lot of knowledge of God, but our hearts have not yet experienced or encountered Him. Therefore, we read the scriptures and we're like, “Yes, God loves me.

Watching someone we love go through pain is difficult. It’s easy to want them to get over it or toughen up because entering into it with them is painful and awkward. Empathy is hard, but it is a loving response to someone in pain because we are identifying with them. We connect with their pain and communicate that they are not alone.

Repent, therefore, of this wickedness of yours, and pray to the Lord that, if possible, the intent of your heart may be forgiven you. For I see that you are in the gall of bitterness and in the bond of iniquity.” And Simon answered, “Pray for me to the Lord, that nothing of what you have said may come upon me.” ... See what kind of love the Father has given to us, that we should be called children of God; and so we are. The reason why the world does not know us is that it did not know him.

I enjoyed a call from my son and daughter-in-law who live on the East Coast and was able to be with my wife and my two other sons. This song has not proved controversial in the same way that “In Christ Alone,” has, but that does not mean this second approach isn’t in danger of imbalance.

Sometimes we expect our kids to know things at their young age that we didn’t learn until much later. It takes a long time before kids have any kind of understanding of who they really are.

Often times the loneliness in his home when his daughter is not there is tough for him to handle. There are days when his heart breaks and he truly struggles just to get through the day.

"No truer words were ever spoken than those of 'I love you' from a father to a son." "A father may only be a dad for a little while, but he is a son's hero forever." A father and son have their own special relationship.

Why do we think of loving fatherhood in mothering terms? Is it because we attribute tenderness and affectionate actions to being feminine rather than just being loving? Fathers are not father true love made with the extra soft cushion of fat under the skin like mothers have. Nevertheless, fathers do have other body parts mothers have. They have arms, legs, eyes, lips, and ears that all are needed for the act of loving. Fathers also have brains that, according to research, have the same ability as mothers have to think, feel pain, laugh, and cry.
