"You're a good good Father it's who You are
I am loved by You it is who I am"
A line from the Chris Tomlin song Good, Good Father.
As I listened to the song on Sunday a nugget of truth caught my attention.
No matter what our earthly father was or is like... even the greatest of Dad's are still only human.
Our Heavenly Father is perfect in all of His ways. He IS goodness. That is who He is. PERIOD.
📖 As for God, his way is perfect:
The Lord’s word is flawless;he shields all who take refuge in him. Psalm 18:30
📖 For the Lord is good and his love endures forever; his faithfulness continues through all generations. Psalm 100:5
and also regardless of who we are and what we have done...we are loved by Him. That is who WE are ..and nothing we can do changes that.
📖 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
You may choose to disregard it, ignore it, or flat out deny it. BUT it does not change the fact that you are loved by HIM.
He waits.
📖 The Lord is not slow in keeping his promise, as some understand slowness. Instead he is patient with you, not wanting anyone to perish, but everyone to come to repentance. 2 Peter 3:9
Do you see?!....God is goodness itself...He invented it. It is who He is.
And He loves YOU.
All you have to do is accept His love and love Him in return.
📖 If anyone acknowledges that Jesus is the Son of God, God lives in them and they in God. And so we know and rely on the love God has for us. God is love. Whoever lives in love lives in God, and God in them. 1 John 4:15-16
🙏🏼 Our amazing Father, thank you for loving us so much. Thank you for our fathers here on earth, regardless of their human faults. It is because of all our flaws that YOU gave Your Son as a sacrifice for our sins. Help us to recieve that love and pass it on to others. Thank you for being the good, good Father who loves all unconditionally. Amen♥️
