Father's Day
Men have been given the responsibility to care for their families. They are to love their wives as Christ loves the church, and they are to care for their children in the same way God cares for all of His children. Our world has become a place where selfishness often comes before selflessness. Jesus came to this earth to show us the way to love, live, and forgive. We shouldn't compare ourselves with one another, but we should do our best to follow the example of Jesus.
It's not about the title men wear as a father, grandfather, uncle, mentor, or spiritual leader. All men have been given the responsibility to lead and love just as our Heavenly Father does. As men strive to be more like Jesus, may they remember that their wives, children, and others need these things from them.

Ephesians 5:25 - Husbands, love your wives, just as Christ loved the church and gave himself up for her.
Ephesians 6:4 - Fathers, do not exasperate your children; instead, bring them up in the training and instruction of the Lord.
Ladies and children, we also have responsibilities that surround those scriptures. We ALL need to follow the example of Jesus in pleasing our Heavenly Father and choose selflessness over selfishness.
