Ever since I could remember my daddy was my hero. I remember when I was just a little girl I would always tell him that when I grew up I wanted to marry him because to me my dad was my knight in shining armor. Another reason my dad was my hero was because of the important work he did. He was the captain of the fire department and I used think my dad was so brave for what he did for others. Growing up through the years my dad has always been my strength. I remember being a teenager as I am sure we all experience there are fun times, but there are also hard times. My dad would always remind me that I was important and that I mattered. He told me that I was loved and to always remember that. He told me to to keep my chin up and to be strong. I always felt so protected by my dad, he always told me that no matter what he would always be there for me. Now that I am a grown woman I love my relationship with my dad now just as much as I did when I was younger because now he is my friend. Even though we live on the opposite side of the United States we still talk on the phone quite a bit and I just love our phone conversations. I love that I can come to him and seek advice and he will always look out for my best interest. I just love knowing that no matter what he will always be there for me to lend support and love me just like he did when I was a little girl. Thank you so much Dad for loving me and making me feel special. I love you, Happy Fathers Day!
When I think about how much my dad loves me, I think how amazing and awesome it is that our Father in heaven loves us even more. God wants to be the one we run to. He wants to love us, protect us and be our strength. He wants us to be able to come to Him with all of our burdens and lay them down. Just like I remember times sitting on my dads lap feeling his arms around me protecting me, God wants that even more. He wants us to run in His arms, sit on His lap and call Him Father, Abba, Daddy. Thank You Father God for blessing me with a dad who is loving, protecting and strong. Thank You for giving me a glimpse of You!
Here are some great verses of our Fathers love for us..........

The Lord your God is with you, He is mighty to save. He will take great delight in you, He will quiet you with His love, He will rejoice over you with singing. Zephaniah 3:17
This is how God showed His love for us: He sent His one and only Son into the world that we might live through Him. This is love: not that we loved God, but that He loves us and sent His Son as an atoning sacrifice for our sins. 1 John 4:9-10
But because of His great love for us, God who is rich in mercy, made us alive with Christ even when we were dead in transgressions-it is by grace you have been saved. Ephesians 2:4-5
