A Godly Father

Godly father is a man of God and a man of prayers 
He is careful to lead a blameless life 
He fears God and is obedient to His Word 
Walks in house with blameless heart 

He leads a life of integrity 
Leads the household well 
He sets Godly example in so many ways 
He doesn't enter the path of the wicked ways 
Nor walk in the way of evil ways 
For his steps are ordered by God 

He trusts and delights in the Lord 
And commits his ways to God 
He hides God's word in his heart 
In everything he brings glory to God 
With instruction from the Bible 

He instructs and guides his children in the ways and words of the Lord 
He will protect his family from deceitful influences 
He is kind, loving and compassionate, 
He is the good provider, honest and hardworking 
He is generous, forgiving, humble and faithful 
He is reliable towards his wife and children 
He is responsible, caring, gracious and generous 
He is the keeper of promises 
He will see his family members are clothed with humility, pure, righteous and holy 

He will honor his marriage vows 
Loves his wife who is mother of his children 
And is not bitter against her 
He has a forgiving heart loaded with lots of patience 
He Treasures His wife and Children 
Godly fathers are hard to find 
Who is the image of God 
And reflecting the nature of God
