What's In A Song

In June one of my blogs was in reference to a song; Good Good Father. [Good Good Father  words by Pat Barrett and Tony Brown]
I heard that song sung by our pastor a week ago at Bible Camp...and I have found myself listening  to it every day..at least once, by Chris Tomlin or Casting Crowns.  It is a good song... But not sure why I have been so drawn to it of late.
I want to share with you a couple of the things, truths if you will, that have jumped out and grabbed me while listening this week.

"You're a Good Good Father, it's who You are....who You are."
It IS who He is.  He IS goodness.  There is no evil or bad in Him.  Everything good and perfect comes from Him who is...good and perfect.

Every good and perfect gift is from above, coming down from the Father of the heavenly lights, who does not change like shifting shadows. James 1:17

 “Which of you, if your son asks for bread, will give him a stone?  Or if he asks for a fish, will give him a snake?  If you, then, though you are evil, know how to give good gifts to your children, how much more will your Father in heaven give good gifts to those who ask him! Matthew 7:9-11


 “What do you think? If a man owns a hundred sheep, and one of them wanders away, will he not leave the ninety-nine on the hills and go to look for the one that wandered off?  And if he finds it, truly I tell you, he is happier about that one sheep than about the ninety-nine that did not wander off.  In the same way your Father in heaven is not willing that any of these little ones should perish. Matthew 18:12-14

It is just WHO. HE. IS!

"I am loved by You. It's who I am ...who I am."
Now make sure you notice it isn't "and I am in love with You...it's who I am."
We are LOVED by God....regardless of whether or not we deserve it or even if we love Him back.  We are LOVED by Him.....and that is who we are whether we like it or choose it...we were created by Him and LOVED by Him and it IS who we are!
No, the Father himself loves you because you have loved me and have believed that I came from God. John 16:27

See what great love the Father has lavished on us, that we should be called children of God! And that is what we are! The reason the world does not know us is that it did not know him. Dear friends, now we are children of God, and what we will be has not yet been made known. But we know that when Christ appears, we shall be like him, for we shall see him as he is. All who have this hope in him purify themselves, just as he is pure. 1 John 3:1-3

For God so loved the world that he gave his one and only Son, that whoever believes in him shall not perish but have eternal life. John 3:16

 We love because he first loved us  1 John 4:19

The next thing that struck me was 

"You are perfect in all of Your ways......to us."
It is US that need His perfection.

He is perfection, but to those in the heavenly realms....the Holy Spirit, His Son Jesus...who are also perfect....His perfection doesn't need to be "proven or shown"   He doesn't need to "show" His perfection in heaven, because it IS perfection.  Because we are not perfect we NEED His perfection to redeem us!  To US He is perfect in ALL of his ways!

It just comes down to believing and trusting He is Good, and Loving and Perfect!

I pray that you have acknowledged His Goodness,  Perfection and Love for you!!
