BIBLICAL FATHERHOOD--THE GREAT NEED OF THE WORLD 11bb) THE SHEPHERDING FATHER IS A MAN OF GOODNESS

Men, God has called us to be men of goodness. We must apply ourselves to show goodness and mercy towards all our loved ones, not just once in a awhile, but "all the days" of our life. The great Shepherd daily provides for us in so may different ways. As we daily abide in Him, He constantly answers our prayers and provides us with our daily bread.

We can do good things to our own families in a thousand different ways. It is a good thing to just look at your family, every day, with love in your eyes and smile at them. It is good to speak lovingly and kindly to your wife and family on a daily basis. It is a good thing to be ever ready to encourage them regularly. It is a good thing to sympathize with them when they need it. It is a good thing to just be there for them when your presence can bring a sense of security and well being.

We must be good men with an ever ready shoulder to cry on and ever ready to be a good listener.

Be encouraged.
