Pictures of a Good Father

When it comes to being a good father what do most young black men see? Can they picture their fathers passing down any legacies? Do they remember any male bonding or talks on how to be good men? Do they have any perceptions or even comprehend? Unfortunately too many households are single parent with only a mother in residency Caused by incarceration, unemployment and dysfunctional inadequacies Too many don't have a clue of what a good father should be As the father factor in their lives was one of obscurity But God is the ultimate father figure to each and every man And if you desire to be like Him read His words and follow His plans To become a good father you must examine the Holy Scriptures And hopefully you'll be able to obtain a good father picture Now tapping into God's heavenly Twitter account And Facebooking the Gospel to see what its all about Fully prepared to formulate, cultivate and stimulate your spiritual life So that your behavior and way of thinking lines up with Jesus the Christ A picture of a good father is a man who leaves a financial legacy So that his children won't exist in a state of abject poverty By showing them how to save and how to invest Leaving a fruitful inheritance and a full hope chest A picture of a good father is a man whose vine is rooted in a strong foundation And structured to lift him up in godly formation Respectful, resilient, loving, loyal and kind Of strong moral conviction and secure in his mind Knowing who he is and what he could be And having healthy relationships with every member of his family So if you're broken, bitter, angry and have any doubts Seek God and a professional to help you work it out And i say this to all women and I hope you receive You need to let a man be a man to his family Stop disrespecting him and put your anger and pride to the side He is doing the best he can so work with him by walking stride for stride A picture of a good father is a man concerned about his community Who comprehends we live in a global society A man who gets involved and not stay isolated As we are all a part of this world that God created A picture of a good father is a man who loves and respects his family and community A man strongly rooted, striding humbly and secure in his spirituality
