“And he will turn the hearts of
the fathers to the children, and the hearts of the children to their
fathers…”—Malachi 4:6
Every person has their own idea of
what a Father means to them. Most people
agree that when the word “Father” is used that they will always relate it to
the father figure in their home; good –or bad.
Sadly all over the world, no matter what the reason may be, a father may
not present in the home on a full-time basis.
I want to encourage you today that god the father is always present. “…For
He Himself has said, ‘I will never leave you nor forsake you (Hebrews 13:5). Of the many names that are given to God to
describe who He is, the name Heavenly Father is one of great comfort to us. Although
no father on earth is perfect, we have a Heavenly Father who longs to show you
His love—unfailing, forgiving and faithful.
Never forget that once you decide to
accept Jesus Christ as your Lord and Savior, you become a child of the Most
High God. He becomes your Father and you
become His child. “Beloved, now we are children of God; and it has not yet been revealed
what we shall be, but we know that when He is reveled, we shall be like Him for
we shall see Him as He is’ (1 John 3:2).
1 John 4:8 tells us that, “…God is love.” Just as our Heavenly Father longs to
express His love to His children let us purpose in our hearts to express the
love of God to our world. Let the world
around you know that God is the FATHER
who is always present by the words and actions that you express to
them. You may be the only contact that
they will ever have to know a father or to turn their hearts to Him. Our Heavenly Father has no way to express
Himself through except by your hands, your feet and your words.
Prayer—Heavenly
Father, thank You for your unconditional love to me, and help me to always have
a grateful heart and expressing Your love to my world around me, in Jesus Name.
Amen.
