The Weekend Brew: Faithful Father
As Father’s day approaches, I want to encourage you that your Father in heaven loves you so much. I’m not sure what kind of an earthly father you’ve had, but your heavenly Father is perfect, gentle, loving and kind. I want to share with you today this acrostic I put together, as a reminder of His love for you!
F – Faithful
For great is your love, higher than the heavens;
your faithfulness reaches to the skies. (Psalm 108:4)
A – Abundantly Available
God is our refuge and strength,
an ever-present help in trouble. (Psalm 46:1)
T – Trustworthy
I will say of the Lord, “He is my refuge and my fortress;
My God, in Him I will trust.” (Psalm 91:2)
H – Helper
We wait in hope for the Lord;
he is our help and our shield. (Psalm 33:20)
E – Encouraging
You, Lord, hear the desire of the afflicted;
you encourage them, and you listen to their cry, (Psalm 10:17)
R – Restoring
He restores my soul;
He leads me in the paths of righteousness
For His name’s sake. (Psalm 23:3)
May you rest securely in the arms of your loving and faithful Father in heaven this Father’s Day.

What lovely, soothing words Barbie, I’m glad I dropped by today, it’s been a long day and those were words I needed to hear!
I love this, Barbie! Praise God that He is the perfect Father! Happy Father’s Day to you & your family & God bless!
Thanks for stopping by Laurie. Have a blessed day tomorrow!
How blessed we are to be a child of God! Thank you, Barbie, for placing the Scripture alongside the character of God, our Father. May we sit at His feet, on His knee, in His lap and always know that we are loved. I am still learning.
Caring through Christ, ~ linda
Thank you Linda! Praying you have a blessed day tomorrow.
This is lovely! i am so thankful to be His daughter. 🙂
You are His delight! Have a blessed day tomorrow.
My father was a hard working man. He often did a double shift to suipply our family with needs and so my mother could be a stay at home mom. Mom worked hard too, in the garden, cooking, sewing and teaching us to love God. Dad in his later years attended church faithfully and was a good example to us. He taught me to drive a car, and made sure i did not date until I was age 16. We could go as a group roller skating, swimming, but not one on one dates. It satisfied me and dad too felt it was good. Today I tell a story about my “farmer” dad and when our children were small.
Hazel, thank you so much for sharing about your father. He sounds like a wonderful man. I am looking forward to reading your post.
Beautiful, Barbie. Thanks for the reminder.
You’re welcome Melanie!
I love this! So full of truth – and Love… and perfect for Father’s Day Wknd!
Praying you have a blessed day tomorrow my friend!
Beautiful Barbie!!
Thank you friend!
Amen!! This post touched my heart. Although my earthly Father has passed on. I find peace and joy knowing I have my heavenly father who is there with me and he is faithful! Thank you for this beautiful post!!
You’re so welcome Rebecca. Thank you for stopping by!
Thank you for this, Barbie. I have no recollection of my father and mostly fearful memories of my step-father – so – Father’s Day must be transformed into something beyond here. Your acrostic reminds me of the One True Father who has always been with me! Blessings!
Carrie, He is a good Father and loves you so much. Praying you sense His nearness!
Amen! He is SUCH a Faithful Father! We are so blessed to have Him. I am amazed that our God – who created everything that IS – knows us intimately. Amazing!!!
I am finally here to visit and link up. Forgive me for being away for so long!
Love and hugs!
Beth
Oh friend, no apologies necessary! So nice to see your smiling face. Looking forward to reading your post!
Dear Barbie
I feel so sorry for the people who have only sad and unloving experiences and thoughts about their earthly father! It is hard for them to understand our Pappa’s love, but not hard for Him to overwhelm them with His goodness when they want to believe! Even faith is a gift from Him.
Much love XX
Mia
AMEN my friend! Nothing is a strong as our heavenly Father’s love.
Thank you for this reminder of our Father. This is beautiful to share with others that have that hole in their lives of an earthly dad. And I will surely be sharing the link. Have a blessed weekend~ ~ Joanne
Thank you Joanne for stopping by. And please do share! Blessings!
