Father's Day

My pastor's Father's Day message yesterday on "The Passions of a Godly Man" was one that came clearly from his heart. As he went through each point, I became increasingly grateful for a dad who exemplifies them all. God has blessed me, foremost, by adopting me as His own, so I can call him "Abba, Father." Without that relationship, all others mean nothing in eternity. Yet He has provided so much more in giving me a dad who loves me, who loves my mom, and has a heart for the Lord. And if that weren't enough, my life has been radically impacted by many other godly men--relatives, pastors, teachers, friends--models of Christ.
