Have you noticed the number of fatherless homes there are today?
The latest official reports estimated that there are 25 million people who are from single-parent homes where the father is unknown or absent from the family he begat.
That’s a big problem. John Sowers, in his book “Fatherless Generation,” says society is paying for this breakdown in families with higher crimes and a cultural shift that’s really taking a toll.
We can’t undo what already exists, so he suggests that we all become mentors for the fatherless kids on our street. Fathers and grandpas have a lot to offer and you’ll be surprised, often our efforts to give advice or be a friend will be accepted.
God is our spiritual father and we are all his children.
When we work with the kids of fatherless homes, they see the hands of God and they hear the voice of God when we speak.
Through our concern, they come to know that God, working through us, reaches out to them in love.
Romans 8:16 The Spirit himself testifies with our spirit that we are God’s children.
Let’s pray for the fatherless families and also for the baby daddies that don’t know how to be fathers.
Until then, let’s show the kids the love of the father, which is in heaven.
