Your role as a legacy builder is to stand firm, present in love, and to be present and love, and to give every presentation with the grace of God, the patience of God, the love of God, and be prayerful in battle, modeling truth against lies and contradictions, and passing on faith that withstands cultural storms, faith that will tell your children that they can live above the storms or the traps of the enemy. and all the lies that their peers would try to say about them. Tell your children that they are trailblazers, that they're leaders, that they set the curve and people should follow them. Amen. Paul said, follow me as I follow Christ. Teach your children that they should have others to follow them as they follow Christ. Call it what you wanna call it. I call it holy boldness. 'Cause the enemy is not playing. Imagine this, your children and your grandchildren one day saying, my dad or granddad showed up. That's right. He prayed, he pointed us to Jesus amid the noise. He stood guard when everything else pulled away. That changed everything in my life growing up. And because of my dad and my granddad, I am the man I am today. the man I am, the woman I am, I am the mother I am today because he was present and available and loved me unconditionally. Amen. Even with the attitude, even with the negative attitude, even with the anger. Yes. And the moments I talked back, he still loved me. He loved me through it. A dad that is present and loves unconditionally, that sounds like our Heavenly Father, a Father that is full of grace and mercy. Amen. This type of legacy is possible. It's possible. It can start today. Let me give you some gentle invitations, fathers.
