Father = source
Our earthly fathers are an important source of our genetic makeup. 
But God is the ultimate source of our lives. 
He knew us before we were conceived and formed us in the womb.

 

Father = provision
Fathers find joy in giving to their children. That’s because a chief role of 
fatherhood is to provide. Jesus used this reality to explain the goodness of God 
when He said, “If you, then, though you are evil, know how to give good gifts to 
your children, how much more will your Father in heaven give good gifts to 
those who ask him!” (Matthew 7:11).
 
Father = correction
Children don’t like discipline, but it fosters security knowing Mom and Dad 
love them enough to correct wayward behavior. Good parents mirror the 
fatherhood of God when they administer the short-term pain of discipline to 
shape a child’s long-term character.
 
Father = love
As a parent, you’ve probably received a small taste of how God feels as 
“our Father in heaven.” When parents look into the face of their newborn baby, 
they know they will love the child no matter what. 
That’s exactly how God feels about us.
