Father's Day is observed on the third Sunday of June. It honors all fathers, grandfathers, great-grandfathers, and father figures. It is supposed to be an opportunity to appreciate and show love to fathers. But this day can be filled with emotions that are not always positive as well. Perhaps you’ve never heard a kind word or had a loving relationship with your dad. If so, it may be more difficult for you to believe that a day should honor fathers when you did not have the ideal dad.

There is only one Father that never disappoints or stops loving you—Your Father in Heaven. He knows your name; He knows the day you were born and every hair on your head. He sees all your pain and sorrow. He knows when you are disappointed. Your loving Father sees it all. In the end, only God can right the wrongs you might have experienced with your earthly dad. Isaiah 40:28 (NIV), “Do you not know? Have you not heard? The Lord is the everlasting God, the Creator of the ends of the earth. He will not grow tired or weary, and his understanding no one can fathom.” He is a Father that will never hurt or abandon you.
