ENSURE YOU ARE A FATHER: ENSURE YOU HAVE A FATHER!
It takes the presence of the NATURING Father and the NURTURING Mother to make a child become in life and grace in Christ Jesus stead – and this is irrespective of any known and unknown circumstances.
It’s important as a Father that you ENSURE that you are a FATHER indeed and irrespective; and that as a child that you passionately seek to ENSURE you have a FATHER in your life and grace – and irrespective of any circumstances under God in Christ Jesus stead. Amen.
And the father you have or have become one by any of these – biological or guardian or adoption must not MATTER at all as long as there’s no room given to stereotypes, prejudice and dissimulation (hypocrisy) and such like – for any of such should be kept at a bay and alien to the fatherhood and fathering relationship.
BEING A FATHER and BECOMING A FATHER is worth all the living. And I sincerely wish all, the enabling grace, wisdom and speed, in every way, in God’s BLESSEDNESS, in Christ Jesus stead. Amen.

“I write not these things to shame you, but as my beloved sons I warn you. 15 For though ye have ten thousand INSTRUCTORS in Christ, yet have ye not many FATHERS: for in Christ Jesus I have begotten you through the gospel. 16 Wherefore I beseech you, be ye followers of me” 1 Corinthians 4:14-16.

“Hearken to me, ye that FOLLOW after righteousness, ye that SEEK the Lord: look unto the ROCK whence ye are HEWN, and to the hole of the pit whence ye are digged. 2 Look unto Abraham your FATHER, and unto Sarah that bare you: for I called him alone, and BLESSED him, and INCREASED him” Isaiah 51:1-2.
“And ye have forgotten the exhortation which speaketh unto you as unto CHILDREN, My son, despise not thou the chastening of the Lord, nor faint when thou art rebuked of him: 6 for whom the Lord LOVETH he chasteneth, and scourgeth every son whom he receiveth. 7 If ye endure chastening, God dealeth with you as with sons; for what son is he whom the FATHER chasteneth not? 8 But if ye be without chastisement, whereof all are partakers, then are ye bastards, and not sons. 9 Furthermore we have had FATHERS of our flesh which corrected us, and we gave them reverence: shall we not much rather be in subjection unto the FATHER of spirits, and live? 10 For they verily for a few days chastened us after their own pleasure; but he for our profit, that we might be partakers of his holiness. 11 Now no chastening for the present seemeth to be joyous, but grievous: nevertheless afterward it yieldeth the peaceable fruit of righteousness unto them which are exercised thereby” Hebrews 12:5-11.
