My Own Children

I wouldn't trade them, and how I love them dearly. And I include my son in law in this group.  All the lasting memories. They are indeed treasures and trophies. I trust them, enjoy them with all my heart.
They are honest and all three have tender, sweet hearts. Integrity is definately not lacking.  They are equally witty and never cease to continually make me laugh.  Some poor soul is out there without a sense of humor, because of these who have taken it and have spread it where ever they've roamed.

Do you know God the Father loves us like this and more? He smiles when He thinks of us.
John 16:27 - The Father Himself loves you, because you have loved Jesus and believed Jesus came out from Him.
He holds affectionately memory upon memory of you and I. He's not willing to do without us.  It pleases Him when you believe His word, His promises for you.  It please Him when you trust Him. Hebrews 11:6 Without faith, it is impossible to please Him.  God is a Father, a real Father who loves His kids. Oh how He wants us to learn that, and treat Him like our Father.

Abba Father

Imagine how Jesus, when He was on this earth, called His Father Daddy. We can somehow understand that, but the thought that He wants us to call God Daddy, is alittle harder to swallow. "Abba" is actually the greek word for Daddy.
Romans 8:14-16 For as many as are led by the Spirit of God, they are the sons of God. for ye have not received the spirit of bondage again to fear; but ye have received the Spirit of adoption, whereby we cry, Abba, Father. For the Spirit itself beareth witness with our spirit, that we are the children of God.

You see, God the creator of the universe, calls you His child, and He wants you to call Him Daddy. It's such a loving term, and difficult for many of us to do, even for the simple fact that many dads have checked out, and we don't even know how and what that looks like.

Some years back, I was honored to visit Israel, and walking thru the ancient city streets near the Western wall, you could hear the young children calling their dads "Abba", as they ran to catch up with their pappa.

A child who calls his father "Daddy" has an affectionate relationship, and has built up a secure trust, knowing his dad takes good care of him.  If God calls us his own and wants this relationship, it's up to us to come near, come closer. What are you waiting for? Today would be good...

The Creator of the Earth Loves You

In the Beginning God created the heaven and the earth... Gen. 1:1

And even in the beginning, He was thinking of you, and He was loving you and planning for you. When He thinks of you, it's only with thoughts of mercy, love and forgiveness.

Eph 1:5 Having predestinated us unto the adoption of children by Jesus Christ to himself, according to the good pleasure of his will.

It gave Him pleasure to adopt you as His own. But you must come only thru Jesus. By His grace He welcomes you. John 14:6  "I am the way the truth, and life; no man comes to the Father, but by me."

Ps 36:5 His faithfulness reacheth unto the clouds

Ps. 36:5 Thy mercy, O Lord is in the heavens; and thy faithfulness reacheth unto the clouds.

Clouds give rain, and way back on the day when Noah's boat moved from the waters to dry land, God gave him a rainbow for sign, and promised He would never again flood the earth. So when you look up to the clouds, you can remember that promise, and that your God is so faithful to keep His promises.

I Cor. 1:9  God is faithful, by whom ye were called unto the fellowship of his Son Jesus Christ our Lord.

Ps.23 The Lord is my sheperd

The Lord is my Sheperd, I shall not want.  Another translation says, I shall not lack.

He leads me beside still waters, He makes me lie down in green pastures, He restores my soul...

A comforting true psalm, that reveals truth.  If you truly give yourself to Him, and trust him with your most valuable possession, YOU,  He will prove himself strong in your life.  You will be in great hands. Your on His dime, so to speak. He will care for you like no other. If you hold the reins to your life, believe me, your life will be so limited. When He holds the reins to your life, there are no limits!
I dare you to prove Him...

Eyes of Love

Come boldly to the throne of grace. that you may receive mercy in time of need...

Open arms, heart of compassion, eyes that love and accept you just as you are..... Jesus.

Come and Meet Me

Do you know how much I love You? I am preparing you a home, made just for you. I know all your colors and your very taste even in furniture. John 14:2 In my Father's house are many mansions; if it were not so I would have told you. I go to prepare a place for you, I will come again, and receive you unto myself; that where I am, there you may be also.

This is a small thing thought compared how I have already proved my love for you, by dying on the cross and washing your sins in my own blood...

Believe me when I say I love you. Come and meet me...

I Tremble

He Loves You

 Ps.42:8 Yet the Lord will command his lovingkindness in the daytime, and in the night his song shall be with me and my prayer unto the God of my life.

The Father has already proven His LOVE for YOU. He has done everything HE can to show you how deeply HE LOVES YOU!!

Rom 5:8 (Amplifd) But God shows and clearly proves His own love for us, by the fact that while we were still sinners, Christ (the messiah, the annointed one) died for us.

Now it's up to you to receive it, to drink as much of his love as you need to, want to. It is finished. He thinks of you with Love all day long, why do you keep thinking God hates you? If you think this,  you are clearly believing a LIE....
