~~~ Not out of anger ~~~ He loves unconditionally ~~~ Not because we've done something right ~~~ He's always there for us whenever we might need him Whether in the middle of the night or just anytime at all ~~~ He gets disappointed in us when we do what we shouldn't But loves us no less for it ~~~ He rejoices when we do good ~~~ He can understand any difficulty, torment or hardship we go through ~~~ He's always there to bridge the gap ~~~ He has patience and endurance Always forgiving an honest heart for doing wrong ~~~ Time, distance or death will never seperate him from you ~~~ He always has time to listen ~~~ Always has time to help ~~~ Always teaching life's lessons Just what we need to know When we need to know it ~~~ Never puts too much pressure or stress, but gives only what we can handle ~~~ He is strong for us when we're weak ~~~ He can pull us from the deepest pit and set us upon the highest mountain ~~~ He will cradle us when we hurt and guide us through any storm ~~~ He would put himself in your place and take your torment for you. *~*~*~* He did! He has! ~~~ He has already given His life *~*~*~ Put himself in our place ~~~ He died to protect us! *~*~*~ He's done everything for us ~~~ What does this perfect Father ask in return? ~~~ ~That we love HIM!~ *~*~*~* That's it, that's all! ~~~ Love Him as He loved us *~*~*~ Follow Him *~*~*~ because His words are true and... His love has already been proven. *~*~*~ Because, He's God! ~~~ Our Perfect Father! *~*~*~* <*\\\>< I know not what the future holds, but I know Who holds the future. I don't question YOUR existance - GOD [This message has been edited by WhtDove (edited 04-19-2001).] |

He was the model for my earthly father. The difference is that God loves everyone in that manner. My daddy had enough to do with just the seven. I like your poem. Joyce |

AMEN! A friend hears the song in my heart, and sings it to me when my memory fails. |

White Dove, I am sooooooo glad that He is my Daddy! Your poem is an excellent check list for reference by fathers. To be like Him would be a marvelous thing. I checked to see how I compared and I fell exceedingly short, but I still strive for perfection in Christ anyway. Bob <>< |
