ENCOURAGING THOUGHTS
Our Good Father
Sometimes it's hard to imagine what God is like as our Heavenly Father. We all have had different experiences with our earthly fathers. Some of us have fathers who were/are a source of immense support and encouragement in our lives, and for some of us, for one reason or another, we didn't/don't have a positive relationship and experience with our earthly fathers. But no matter what our earthly experience has been, the Bible says that we can have confidence that God is a good Father. A perfect Father. 1 John 3:1 says: "See what great love the Father has lavished on us, that we should be called children of God. And that is what we are!" (NIV)
If you are a father, we celebrate with you, and pray for you as you love your children with the love and gentle strength Christ has put in you!
If you have a great relationship with your earthly Father, we celebrate with you!
If Father's Day is painful for you, and you are struggling to see God as your loving Father, we encourage you to spend time seeking Him in His Word this week and to meditate on His promises and His loving nature towards you! He is your loving Father!
No matter what we go through or experience here on earth, we can be sure that God is always our Good, Good Father!
"See what great love the Father has lavished on us, that we should be called children of God." 1 John 3:1 NIV
