The love and influence of a father, or a father figure, is often felt in quiet, consistent ways—through their example of faith, their teachings, and the love they share with us. 

In the Book of Mormon, Lehi invited his family to partake of the fruit of the tree of life—a symbol of God’s love and the joy that comes from living the gospel (see 1 Nephi 8:12).

Like Lehi, fathers today strive to share the sweetness of God’s love with their children—and, in doing so, point them toward the Savior.

This mirrors what our Heavenly Father does for us. He lifts us and calls us to partake of His love through the gospel of Jesus Christ. It is through every tender mercy, every answered prayer, and even our earthly fathers that we can feel our Heavenly Father’s love for each of us. 

How have you felt the love of a father guide you closer to God?
