When Jesus shared about His father, He stated, "The Father loveth the Son, and hath given all things into his hand."
And again in Psalm 2:7-8, "Thou art my Son; this day have I begotten thee. Ask of me, and I shall give thee the heathen for thine inheritance, and the uttermost parts of the earth for thy possession."
Fathers need to be big-hearted toward their children. This does not mean we should spoil our children, catering to all their wants. Rather, every child should have a father who is frequently expressing His love to them. This is being big-hearted in expressing love.
Every child needs a father who not only expresses his love, but also confirms his love by meeting his child's needs. This is being big-hearted in deeds of love. Some men say it is not necessary to tell their children regularly that they love them. It should be sufficient to provide for them. Others say that all they need to do is to daily tell their children they love them and that should be enough. The above Scriptures include both, speaking love and giving love.
Fathers, our heavenly Father is not mean and tight-fisted toward His only beloved Son in whom He was and is well pleased (Matthew 3:17). This sets a standard of big-hearted love that applies to all of us who call ourselves fathers.
