As Father's Day approaches, let's focus our thoughts and prayers on all of the fathers in our lives. Whether we had great fathers or not, we must remember that as the Children of God, we will always have a Father in heaven who will always love and protect us.
Fathers' Day takes place on the 17th of June this year. Whether you're a father or not, we can all learn a lot from Joseph, David and many other prominent fathers in the Bible. Hopefully, this list of our favorite Bible verses for Father's Day will encourage you to reflect upon the love and compassion our heavenly Father has for us.
