In this very special feature, we'll focus on songs of the Father's love. In preparation for Father's Day, the following song selections point to our Heavenly Father's never-ending pursuit of our hearts. He is always leading and guiding us. He's always pursuing our hearts. He's watching over us and protecting us. And He is always faithful and true!
As we prepare to honor our dads, we look to the Lord. We give thanks to the special men who have given of themselves and raised us. We thank our Heavenly Father for the gift of our dads, and the example they have been to us. But most importantly, we look to our Heavenly Father, knowing that He loves us, and knows our needs, sees beyond our faults, and welcomes us home when we've gone astray. What an amazing Father!
