The lion understands the assignment he has to protect his family. He is able to work with others, but he understands that there is a role he plays in his family and in society that can only be done by him. Every man who desires to father can be a father to someone, but the question is, what will you teach? Will you teach the skillsets to build a household? To build a community? That which can bring structure and stability to nations? The world is in need of good men willing to father the children that are theirs, the children born in their family, and those from outside their family. If the church or a men's ministry ever questioned their value, where they are needed, the youth have an endless supply of assignments. Families, communities, and governments need their influence. You are needed. Although women may raise children on their own, the value of a father can not be filled by her alone; she needs your help. The Father up above needs your help to be His hands and feet on the earth! If you are searching for your purpose, looking for a father, or wanting to know more about the Heavenly Father, pick up this book that gives examples of how the Father uses men of every caliber to lift His people up. Flawed men in the Bible made great fathers, while those who had it all were the wickedest men on earth. Money, status, or influence alone don't make you a great father, nor does the lack of these things make you a poor father.
