As parents, we have the unique opportunity to personify the love of Christ for our children. The most rewarding way to do this is by loving our children the way Christ loves us. Sometimes, love is easy. Other times, it is incredibly difficult. All the time, it is possible.

God is glorified when a father follows His pattern of loving his family. Discipline, stewardship, grace, security, and sacrifice are tools our Heavenly Father uses to draw us to Himself. Daddies can access these through a personal relationship with God. He made a way for all to know Him through the sacrifice of His son, Jesus. When we LOVE our children the way God LOVES us, we point them to the Savior.

This book is for dads and children alike. Both need to be reminded of the sacrificial love Jesus has bestowed upon us. God has purposefully designed the family to illustrate His love both to each other and ultimately to our world.

Christian principles Illustrated in this book:

• Sin is within all of us. None of us are good.
• Christ's love for us draws us to repentance.
• God disciplines His children out of love.
• A father who loves like Christ points his child to God.
• Only the love of Christ can save us from our sins and reconcile us to God.
• Once we belong to God, we are forever secure in His hand.
• A Father needs the Holy Spirit to equip him to love like Christ.

This book is a part of a series {"When I'm Loved Like Jesus"} that illustrates an element of Christ's love through members of the family. The love of Jesus is demonstrated more completely when we embody all of the elements together.
