It's true for dads, but that doesn't mean there's nothing here for the rest of us. We all have dads. And what guy doesn't want to be a hero? But all of us fail so often. We fall short. There are so many fathers who never become "the hero" for their kids. But it's not too late. Thank God, He takes us where we are.
Want to be a hero? "Know your flaws (the stuff that trips you up), stay away from those things, and then defend your 'universe'." Not as easy as it sounds, but you'll never regret it.
Have a hero, a role model, someone you look up to in your life? Let them know! They don't need to be perfect. In fact, if you think they are, you're in for a letdown. But if they are truly striving to follow Jesus, the ultimate hero, then you can know that you've made a good choice. Sure, they'll fail. But the true heroes will admit their failure, get back up, and by God's grace, keep going.
