DAILY REFLECTION

"As a father has compassion on his children, so the Lord has compassion on those who fear him.”
Psalm 103:13

A good father nurtures, protects, disciplines, and provides for his children with unwavering affection and mercy. His presence shapes lives, instills values, and reflects the profound love of God. 

Jason Wong has dedicated his life to strengthening families and empowering fathers. Through his distinguished career as Deputy Director/Chief of Staff of the Singapore Prison Service, CEO of SCORE, and Senior Director of Rehabilitation & Protection at the Ministry of Social and Family Development, he has championed transformation in communities. Recognising the struggles many fathers face and the lasting impact of absent parenting, he founded the Dads for Life movement, inspiring fathers to be actively involved in their children's lives. His ministry provides essential support, resources, and encouragement to help fathers build stronger bonds and embrace their vital role in shaping the next generation.  His work mirrors the restorative and compassionate nature of God’s fatherly love, ensuring that families flourish and children grow up with guidance and security. For his contributions, he was honored with the Public Administration Medal (Silver) in 2002.

Psalm 103:13 reminds us that God’s love is steadfast and His compassion unwavering. In a world of uncertainties, His kindness is a constant, inviting us to walk in faith and embrace a relationship built on trust and reverence. 

“A father's love is the foundation of a happy life.”
