The love that comes from a father to his son is something that cannot be matched. 

Many fathers would tell you what it's like watching their first, second, or even third son being delivered, they will often pause, you might catch a tear in their eye, or rolling down their cheek. Occasionally they'll even describe the experience of loving something more than themselves. 

This affectionate, profound desire to do things for a being they're responsible for creating

and shaping is irreplaceable.

There's something about the way a father will smile at you when he's proud of you.
When you've just aced your first solo, or even turned in your homework assignment on time.
When you've picked up a book that he recommended, or hit your first pitched ball.
It's special, telling a little story of all the emotions he might feel when he's watching his
creation grow up.
There's something special about being surprised about how mature
you've gotten while both admiring how far you've come.
A bitter-sweetness as the realization that he'll never see this progress, or experience this new thing the same way, yet a pondering of what could possibly come next in your amazing creativity.

There's a special treat in being a dad who has the responsibility of offering a shoulder to cry on.
When you've been bullied at school, or feel like you're a failure at everything, or are
grieving the loss of a loved one.
A father would offer the refuge of his loving arms and hold you
in security.
When you're blatantly wrong about something, he wouldn't rashly correct you, but would offer guidance in your decision making, and ask you questions as to why you're thinking the way you are.
When you feel like life is meaningless and not worth it, he would help you
and love you, and comfort you just with his presence.
When you feel the warmth of his arms
the worries of the world, and the weighty feeling of nothingness simply melts away as you
experience the fullness of love from a good father.

Yet, this is probably the most idealistic father known to man.
In human terms, if we're being real here, there is absolutely nobody who even comes close to offering this sort of father-ship to his sons and daughters.
We can't blame them either, who is perfect after all, and yet there's something inside of
each of us, I believe, that longs for the really really good father, perhaps exactly what I've described
above, perhaps even better.
A superhero father, one who takes you on amazing
adventures in saving children from the sex trade!
 Or a dad who leaves you love notes in your lunch box.
Many of the qualities could even describe to you your experience of your mother.
There is something within each of us that recognizes these parental roles, actions, and behaviors
whether it be from movies, or part of our innate nature as kids.
Many of us have been deprived of such love as well.

To me, I have my father in mind.
Not my earthly father, but my father who is in heaven.
He
is perfect beyond all doubt and measure.
He is the exact father I've described here, and way more.
It's obvious that His desire is to show His unending love to those who want it,
and when you've experienced the fullness of this love, you feel and experience weightlessness
you walk in the knowledge and absolute love that you are a child of the most high God.
This is my Father, who walks in absolute confidence in Himself and His creation.
Who shares His glory, and yet is the absolute owner of everything.
He is completely unique, He is in all things, and He is the author of all things.
Yet He is outside of description.
He belongs to none, and belongs to all.
He is love.
He is Papa, Abba, Father.
He is God.
