First let me begin by saying happy Fathers day to every father out there! I want to explain this scripture to you. I'm going to answer the question What is the role of the Father?

• They should love God above all.
• You must love God before yourself.
• If you don't love God it will be extremely difficult for you to love others.
• God created you the HE wanted to.
• Don't believe what anyone else but God says about you.
• You don't be ashamed of anything.
• If they encourage you keep it to heart, but if not rise above.
• We should love our wives.
• He that loveth his wife loveth himself.
• Love their children not provoke them with your anger.
• Mom sets principals.
• Dad sets character.
• Big men do cry.
• God holds men accountable for their children.

The fathers should love their God above all. If you do not love God, then you cannot love yourself, then you cannot love you wife, and therefore you cannot love anyone else. I say God made you exactly how HE wanted to, because many people are very self-conscious about themselves. God made you the way he wanted to make you. If God wanted to make you and everyone else the same we would all look alike, and we would all have the same qualities and traits and likes and dislikes, and if that were to happen we would have the whole world filling applications for jobs because that's what they like to do and having jobs that are not liked to do left empty. We are all made differently and unique. We all have a purpose and a destiny and everyone's purpose and/or destiny is not the same. This ties into what I say about not believing what others say about you, only believe God. Other people only know the outer you God and you both know the outer and the inner you and that is the you that matters. Also you must be able to keep the good things that are said about you to heart and all encouraging things that are said about about you keep them to heart as-well. But things that put you down or that are negative you must rise above those things. Next I go on to say love your wife. If you do not love your wife then you are probably un-faithful, and if your un-faithfuol to your wife you will most-likely be un-faithful to others. And real quick let me say one thing now that I am on this topic. If you and/or your wife are both very unhappy with each-other and both have tried to make the relationship work, but no matter how hard you try nothing helps do not stay together if you have children thinking that you are helping the children, because it does not! Children can sense things like anger and when something is aquard. And if you do not have children but are staying together for whatever reason, know that that reason is not worth the rest of your life being a living hell! Life is too short to live it being unhappy and/or sad. Be happy with your life and if your not make it better. Now let me continue to my next topic, love your children do not provoke them with your anger. There are too many children who see that there father or mother is angry all the time and the parent(s) take it out on the children, that makes them more angry and disrespectful. If you love your children and respect them they will return the favor. Remember these two things if you don't remember anything else, Mom sets principals and Dad set character. Mom turns everything into a lesson, while dad try to instill some type of character in the child. Moms please do not try and do the fathers job unless you really must, and fathers try not to do the mothers job, unless you really must. And also here is a scripture I have for you,

This scripture I will leave for you to comprehend on your own, because this can be comprehended many different ways. Also remember men, that BIG men do cry. Do not hold back your emotions. If you show your children that it is alright to cry about things they will not have to try and force themselves to hold back tears when situations occur when they want to cry, but they see that you show them that it is not manly to cry, and this is mainly about the male children. And lastly God holds men accountable for their children. I know many of yous are like, "WHAT!?!?" Well what that means is God holds you accountable if you think it's okay to spend rent money on something like a car, and if you instill that in your children and your children do unsuccessful then God blames you, because the fathers set character for the children. As I learned it if your child does worse than you they will do much worse than you and if your child does better than you, which is what you want, then he/she will do a whole lot better than you! So remember that the father plays a huge role, and in closing I leaver you with this, which ties into my note where I said the Dad sets character. Now-in-days the parent that is waking the children up for church or Sunday school is the mother and the person taking the children to church is the mother. That is the fathers job because that is is setting character and that is the fathers job, and if you don't understand what I mean about that being character, well if you have the character of waking the kids up on time for church or Sunday school your children will hopefully do the same and the same thing applies to taking the children to church. So hopefully I answered the question that I told you I was going to answer for you, and that was, "What is the role of a Father?" I hope that you had a great fathers day,and children please if you have not done so already call your father up and tell him how much he means to you and thank him for being your father! God Bless You!
