“As a father has compassion on his children, so the Lord has compassion on those who fear him.” ~ Psalm 103:13 ~ The Summer Olympics are about here. Perhaps one of the best Father’s Day stories I know is the story of Derek Redmond, a runner in the 1992 Olympics. Derek was competing for the medal in the 400 meter race. Less than half-way through the race, he ripped a hamstring muscle and fell to the ground in agony. While the rest of the runners moved past him, Derek managed to get to his feet and began struggling to move forward. Then something caught the attention of the television cameras. An older man wearing blue shorts and a Nike “Just Do It” cap pushed past a security guard onto the race track. It was Derek’s father, Jim. At first Derek shrugged him away, saying, “I’m going to finish the race.” Jim said to his son, “We’ve started everything together. We’ll finish this together.” He put his arm around his son and held him as they crossed the finish line together. The crowd erupted into thunderous applause; it has become a classic moment in sports. In fact, Oliver Irish, columnist for the UK based “Observer” called it one of the top 10 “teary moments” in sports. He said, “Not many moments ... remain so poignant that they can reduce grown men to tears, but this is a bona fide weepy.” continued


I saw a video of this event a few years ago. It was a powerful moment. This story challenges me, as it challenges all fathers, to do whatever I can to help my children finish the race. Even if — especially if — they stumble along the way. In the book of Isaiah, God said ... “Listen to me ... you whom I have upheld since you were conceived, and have carried since your birth. Even to your old age and gray hairs I am he, I am he who will sustain you. I have made you and I will carry you ...” ~ Isaiah 46:3-4 ~ Fathers, by God’s grace, may we live with such strength and integrity that we can say these words to our sons and daughters. Why? Because we have compassion for our own children as God, our Heavenly Father, has compassion on us. The next verse of Psalm 103 tells us: “For he knows how we are formed, he remembers that we are dust.” ~ Psalm 103:14 ~ Dads, you may not understand everything about you child or teen — or even your adult child — but you do know this — your child is made of dirt! That means they are imperfect — they make mistakes and they make bad choices. They are messy many times — and they tend to be, well, a mess. You can choose not to feel for them at those messy, messed-up times — or you can choose to feel “for” them. After all, that’s what our Heavenly Father does for us. Dads, just think of all the messy, messed-up problems and scrapes you have gone through — and even if your own Dad deserted you, God never did. He felt your pains, He had compassion on you, and like Derek’s father, Jim — He came into the race to run with you, to encourage you — or to simply carry you. So, let’s take a lesson this weekend from Jim Redmond. Let’s remember how we were made. Let’s remember the compassion of our Heavenly Father. Let’s remember that our children were made the same way we were. Let’s remember to feel. Let’s remember to show Godly compassion. God Bless you fathers as you love your children this week. Happy Father’s Day! Pastor Terrell
