Colossians 3:21
Fathers, do not embitter your children, or they will become discouraged.
When you discipline your kids, it’s easy to slide from instruction into a lecture—to move from training to tearing down. But a good father knows the difference. He steps back from anger and chooses patience. He understands that discipline isn’t about control, it’s about preparation. It’s not just about correcting behavior, but about shaping character.

Hebrews 12:7
Endure hardship as discipline; God is treating you as His child. For what children are not disciplined by their father?
Discipline is never fun in the moment. But a good father knows—it’s necessary. It’s one of the ways he protects, guides, shapes, and strengthens his children. And a child who is lovingly disciplined knows something important: they are deeply loved. God’s discipline works the same way. It’s not punishment, it’s proof that we belong to Him.

Proverbs 23:24
The father of a righteous child has great joy; a man who fathers a wise son rejoices in him.
Usually one of the proudest days in a father’s life is watching his child walk across the stage to receive their diploma. It’s a powerful moment, the result of years of love, encouragement, and support. It’s the moment when all the effort feels worth it, and you finally get to celebrate with joy as you see the fruit of that season.

Psalm 103:13
As a father has compassion on his children, so the LORD has compassion on those who fear Him.
Compassion isn’t just feeling pity for someone, it’s feeling their pain and being moved to help. That’s the kind of love God has for every one of His kids. And through Jesus, He moved heaven and earth to rescue them. Now, He’s simply waiting for each person to open their eyes and see it.

Luke 15:20
So he got up and went to his father. But while he was still a long way off, his father saw him and was filled with compassion for him; he ran to his son, threw his arms around him and kissed him.
There’s a big reason this story is important. It’s not just about some random guy in a distant land who took his inheritance and squandered it away. It’s about us. We’ve all taken the Father’s free will and squandered it on things that don’t last and can never truly satisfy. But here’s the amazing part: the father in the story isn’t just any father. He’s the King of kings and Lord of lords and He’s waiting for all His kids to finally come home.

Genesis 1:10
God called the dry ground land, and the gathered waters he called seas. And God saw that it was good.
Every day you walk on the ground that God called good. And if you’ve been in the ocean, you’re swimming in the waters He called good. But what about you? Well, you were the final piece of His creation, made in His image. The one He called very good!
