God’s Love Reflected In Parenthood

I can honestly say now that having a child really puts God’s love for us in perspective. I’ve heard this most of my life but you can never relate until it actually happens to you. I’ve read the creation story countless times of how he created man to have a free will and of his desire for us to worship Him. I’ve read the stories of His time here on earth and how he died for us. And these are amazing accounts of His love for man. But there’s something about being able to relate to God’s relationship to mankind.
Seeing our little guy get hurt or well up with tears wanting our forgiveness will melt a father’s heart. Being a father gives you special insight into just why God created man. There’s NOTHING like your child showing you love out of free-will. There’s also NOTHING like the paing in having to discipline your child because because you love him/her. And there’s NOTHING like your child running into your arms after that discipline with tear filled eyes telling you he loves you so much.
“Evan, these first three years have flown by! Now that Tanner’s on his way I’m looking back on our first three years together and how wonderful they’ve been. Watching you grow from baby to little boy has been an amazing experience for a father. One that I could never have prepared for, but I wouldn’t change for the world. Each day holds something special and new as you learn the ropes of life. I’m so proud of you! You’re such a polite little guy saying “please”, “thank you” and “no thank you”. You will remind us to pray when we happen to forget (usually at restaurants). You love to dance, sing, play your drums and occasional air guitar. You love being with friends young and old. Just know that your mom and dad love you so very much and we’ll be by your side as you grow, enjoying every minute! - Daddy“
