Dads
Posted on 25. Mar, 2010 by Brett in God
I talked to a dad this week who has a couple of young daughters.
He told me he tells them three things about a dozen times every single day…
- You’re beautiful.
- You’re daddy’s girl.
- Mommy, daddy, and Jesus love you.
He speaks to appearance, identity, and worth…
Every.
Single.
Day.
A daddy’s words are like hot bullets. And bullets always do damage. Just depends on which direction the gun is aimed.
Daily, my friend puts a couple dozen bullets in the foreheads of those unseen forces–cultural and spiritual–that are racing towards his little girls.
Every dad’s a bodyguard or an assassin…not really a middle ground.
Just thought you needed to hear that.

Don’t ever assume that you tell people close to you enough that you love them. They always need more. I always need more. My wife always needs more. My future kids will always need more.

great post bro! This really made me think about my dad and who I wished he would have been when I was growing up, as well as the kind of dad I want to be. This is strong stuff, my friend.

So very, very true. Those girls are going to be confident, strong, Christ-following women who aren’t afraid to receive love when they grow up. If only more dads were this way!

Yep, affirmation leaks. I require a steady flow myself!

No Bryan, different guy. But I remember James speaking about some stuff like this though.
