Being a Father

Well, it has been a little over 10 weeks into my journey as a father. Josiah is amazing. He really is a good baby. I think God knew we wouldn't be able to handle a crazy baby. He is beautiful. He looks like his Momma, thank goodness.
The reality of him being here is starting to set in. One of the biggest things that God has been teaching me is about the Father's love. I would do anything for Josiah. He has done nothing to earn my love except come into this earth. In fact, I KNOW that there will be many times in the future that he will disobey me, disrespect me, talk back to me and even call me names. But...I still love him. I still will do anything for him. That doesn't matter. He could wish that he was born to different parents, but I still love him.
So, if my imperfect love can do that, how much more does God our Father love us.

Matthew 7:11
