The word for today is - Father !

Good morning,Happy Father's Day to all the Father's!

The word for today is - Father !

 

Let me start with saying, Happy Father's Day to our Heavenly Father!  He is the great I AM! Amen ! Now lets read Psalm 103:13,Like as a father pitieth his children, so the Lord pitieth them that fear him.You see,God often compares himself with a father, and it is by carrying out our ideas of what enters into the parental character that we get our best conceptions of the character of God. So, a father should not allow your emotions to hinder your ability to properly love your children. They should not have to seek out love in all the wrong places, or feel there is something missing in their lives because they lack your love. You have to understand that a father's love is always willing to do good for His children. Lets read about the Lost Son in Luke 15:11-30,And he said, A certain man had two sons: And the younger of them said to his father, Father, give me the portion of goods that falleth to me. And he divided unto them his living.And not many days after the younger son gathered all together, and took his journey into a far country, and there wasted his substance with riotous living. And when he had spent all, there arose a mighty famine in that land; and he began to be in want. And he went and joined himself to a citizen of that country; and he sent him into his fields to feed swine. And he would fain have filled his belly with the husks that the swine did eat: and no man gave unto him. And when he came to himself, he said, How many hired servants of my father's have bread enough and to spare, and I perish with hunger! I will arise and go to my father, and will say unto him, Father, I have sinned against heaven, and before thee, And am no more worthy to be called thy son: make me as one of thy hired servants. And he arose, and came to his father. But when he was yet a great way off, his father saw him, and had compassion, and ran, and fell on his neck, and kissed him. And the son said unto him, Father, I have sinned against heaven, and in thy sight, and am no more worthy to be called thy son. But the father said to his servants, Bring forth the best robe, and put it on him; and put a ring on his hand, and shoes on his feet: And bring hither the fatted calf, and kill it; and let us eat, and be merry: For this my son was dead, and is alive again; he was lost, and is found. And they began to be merry. Now his elder son was in the field: and as he came and drew nigh to the house, he heard musick and dancing. And he called one of the servants, and asked what these things meant. And he said unto him, Thy brother is come; and thy father hath killed the fatted calf, because he hath received him safe and sound. And he was angry, and would not go in: therefore came his father out, and intreated him. And he answering said to his father, Lo, these many years do I serve thee, neither transgressed I at any time thy commandment: and yet thou never gavest me a kid, that I might make merry with my friends: But as soon as this thy son was come, which hath devoured thy living with harlots, thou hast killed for him the fatted calf. And he said unto him, Son, thou art ever with me, and all that I have is thine. It was meet that we should make merry, and be glad: for this thy brother was dead, and is alive again; and was lost, and is found. Did you get that? Everything that the Father had was and is the Son's. It's the same thing for the believers everything that our Heavenly Father has is ours.We were by nature the children of wrath, but God, who is rich in mercy, for his great love, he loved us, even when we were dead in sins, hath quickened us together with Christ, by grace we are saved . Now, lets look at the lost sheep, what a father should do!  Read Luke 15:1-7,Then drew near unto him all the publicans and sinners for to hear him. And the Pharisees and scribes murmured, saying, This man receiveth sinners, and eateth with them. And he spake this parable unto them, saying, What man of you, having an hundred sheep, if he lose one of them, doth not leave the ninety and nine in the wilderness, and go after that which is lost, until he find it? And when he hath found it, he layeth it on his shoulders, rejoicing. And when he cometh home, he calleth together his friends and neighbours, saying unto them, Rejoice with me; for I have found my sheep which was lost. I say unto you, that likewise joy shall be in heaven over one sinner that repenteth, more than over ninety and nine just persons, which need no repentance. Now that is true love from our Heavenly Father, He will find His sheep. What great love is this,that Jesus layed down His life for us. Then, He says I am always with thy, just pray to me. The Savior again counseled man on how to pray",Our Father which art in heaven, Hallowed be thy name".“Thy kingdom come. Thy will be done in earth, as it is in heaven.....etc.We should pray to our Father in Heaven with a hallowed heart; we should pray for his kingdom to come, and by so we commit ourselves to help build the kingdom of God on this earth.Thank you our Heavenly Father for loving us so. Thank you Lord for your word, Amen !
