Encouragement For Those Without a Father on Father's Day


As Father's Day draws near, many of us are preparing to celebrate and honor our fathers. However, for those who have lost their fathers, never knew their fathers, or didn't have a good father, this day can stir up a mix of emotions. It's natural to feel sadness and longing, but we can also find solace and strength in the Scriptures, which speak directly to our hearts in times of grief.

During this time, we can hold onto a foundational truth found in Psalm 68:5. It reminds us that even if our earthly fathers are no longer with us, we are never truly fatherless. Our Heavenly Father, who is always present, cares for us deeply. He is our source of strength and comfort and promises to never leave or forsake us.

Sing to God, sing praises to His name;
Exalt Him who rides through the deserts,
Whose name is the Lord, and be jubilant before Him.

A father of the fatherless and a judge for the widows,
Is God in His holy dwelling.  Psalm 68:4-5
Moreover, we can draw inspiration from Jesus's example of love and sacrifice. In John 14:18, Jesus assures his disciples, "I will not leave you as orphans; I will come to you." These words are not just a promise for the disciples of that time but for us. They remind us that we are not alone, even in our times of grief and loss. Jesus, our ever-present friend, is with us, offering his love and support.
The Helper is the Spirit of truth, whom the world cannot receive, because it does not see Him or know Him; but you know Him because He remains with you and will be in you.

I will not leave you as orphans; I am coming to you.  John 14:17-18

As we reflect on these Scriptures, let us seize this Father's Day as a significant opportunity. It's a time to honor the memory of our dearly departed fathers and to express our gratitude for the love and lessons they shared with us. It's also a time to celebrate the unwavering love of our Heavenly Father and find solace in His comforting presence. Through prayer, reflection, and acts of kindness, we can keep the spirit of our fathers alive in our hearts and carry their legacies forward.
