Being the Kind of Dad God Wants Me To Be

I remember reading the Bible to my son. However... What a mess I have become! My children were once proud of their dad. Now, they are embarassed and sad. I once lived a godly life. I really did! Just look at me now. And how I live! Things in life I once called "evil," and "sin." Are causing me to stumble, once again. God's word I once held , as a "priceless treasure." I have traded in for whatever gives me "pleasure." What kind of father am I really going to be? What kind of example will my family find in me? Will I grow stubborn to God as I grow in age? Neglecting his way of living... With anger and rage? I need HIM to bring peace to my troubled soul. I ask you Jesus to cleanse and make me whole. Restore unto me the joy of my salvation. By your blood,... I can now be a new creation! Words alone cannot adequetly express. This family God has given to me. I am so blessed! By Jim Pemberton 2008
