Dear Father’s…Rev. Dr. Gina C. Jacobs-Strain

Dear Fathers,

Today, we want to thank you for your love, guidance, support, encouragement, inspiration, and prayers. We thank you for putting us first and always giving us your best. Your love and commitment serve as a guiding light, shaping the next generation and leaving a lasting legacy.

We are grateful for fathers and father figures who have prayerfully stood in the gap, providing care and unwavering support. Your love is powerful, protective, inspirational, encouraging, and sacrificial.

As we honor our earthly fathers and father figures for their countless contributions to our lives, let us also thank our Heavenly Father for new mercies and infinite love.

In Matthew 7:9-11, Jesus poses a poignant question: “Is there anyone among you who, if your child asks for bread, will give a stone? Or if the child asks for a fish, will give a snake? If you then, who are evil, know how to give good gifts to your children, how much more will your Father in heaven give good things to those who ask Him?” This scripture beautifully illustrates the depth and generosity of a father’s love and highlights the divine love of our Heavenly Father.

We are deeply grateful to you and hope that especially today, you feel celebrated.

We wish you a day filled with joy, love, laughter, and rest.

Happy Father’s Day!
