A FATHER WOULD NOT YET BE SURELY A FATHER

Once when I visited the home of a colleague. When entering and sitting in the living room, I read an interesting article that reads “all men can be a father, but not all can be a Father”.  Almost a quarter hour I was pensive, while waiting for a friend in his house who is in the shower, try to think, understand or interpret the text. In my mind a father certainly becomes a Father or in the other words a father is the same with a Father. Shortly after the host sit in the living room, my desire and curiosity to find out the meaning of the sentence above is unstoppable. What does it mean, what’s the diffrence of father and Father? So I asked with great curiosity. Of course different said my friend with straightforward and unequivocal answer? Because we’ve certainly become the father of our children, but not necessarily be a Father.

          We automatically become a father due to the birth of our children, but became the Father of the terms of your responsibilities. As father, we automatically given clan for children, while the Father had to prepare for his behaviour. As father we can provide physical needs, such as food, clothing, school, but as a Father we are required to provide such faith spiritual needs, behavior and responsibilities. 

          Without being educated or taught a child has been become into clan Siregar, because his father is Siregar or Sanger’s clan because his father is Sanger. Therefore become a Father is much heavier than only the father because concerns about moral responsibility and behaviour as well as the future of our children. 

          But certainly we know that a lot of men who had become the father of many children, wether because his wife gave birth to many children or divorce of his wife or anyting else, but not necessarily he has become a Father.

          Of course there is an important question, “do you want to be a father and the Father of your children?”  if the answer is “Yes”, then take responsibility for providing the spiritual needs of your children regarding faith, morals and behaviour in addition to his physical needs.
