On Father's Day I am reminded, of course, of the joy my earthly father brought me while he was living--for the 26 years I knew him. He was truly a unique soul and brought joy to those near him. His legacy will surely continue, and I will never stop loving him.
But this Father's Day I am even more impressed by the love of my great Father in Heaven. In the past few weeks I have been meditating on Psalm 34 and Psalm 103 and am ever reminded that only He redeems me. Earthly fathers can bring us joy and happiness; they can bestow many gifts upon us; they can care for us and love us--but only our Father can heal us; save us; and give us the eternal gift of life. I am so thankful this day for my Father who redirected me from the path I deserved and brought me to this life. I am thankful that He never stops working for my benefit, and that He satisfies all my desires. I am thankful for His ceaseless compassion and perfect grace.
