The notes were simple. One was a post card and the other was a nice papyrus card. However, they were quick notes of encouragement. One thanking me for going on a trip with him to San Francisco and the other telling me how great of a time he has had this summer spending time with me.
These simple notes made my day and maybe my week. Humans were made with a capacity to love and be loved. Our heavenly father fills this. However, it the busyness of live we may forget just how much God sees us and loves us. Our earthly dad can easily remind us of this.
I love my father and his words mean the world to me. Being a girl is hard these days. We know we can find our worth and value in Christ, but we still long for someone in this world to pursue us and to find us special.
Dads make us feel special.
Dads make us feel wanted, cherished and loved.
So, dads I encourage you to pursue you daughters. Take her on dates. My dad and I went to the daddy daughter dance every year until I was too old to go and now instead we go to a nice restaurant.
You set the bar.
Yet, you also there when a guy doesn't meet the bar and we are left sad and confused. On days like these we are reminded that we will always have a guy in our life and this guy loves us and thinks we are special. You remind us that this isn't the end of the world because we have you and not only that we have God.
For if you love us this much, then how much more does God love us.
So, Dads please pursue your daughters because no one on earth can do it better than you can.
