Your Father in Heaven Loves You!

I bring Grace and Peace to each one of you in the name of Jesus the Savior of the world! 

I am reminded today of a Father in heaven that loves me.  Yes, today is Fathers day and this week has been a very trying one in the life of being a Dad, but I am so thankful that I can look at my earthly father as well as my heavenly one and see the unconditional love that makes me melt in knowing the source of the love I have for my own children. 

John 1:14 (MSG)

The Word became flesh and blood,
      and moved into the neighborhood.
   We saw the glory with our own eyes,
      the one-of-a-kind glory,
      like Father, like Son,
   Generous inside and out,
      true from start to finish.

I do not know what your situation is when it comes to being a father or having a father here on earth but I am here to tell you your Heavenly Father loves you!  He loves you so much that He does not see your faults.  What He sees is Good. 

Genesis 1:26-31 (MSG)

 26-28 God spoke: "Let us make human beings in our image, make them
      reflecting our nature
   So they can be responsible for the fish in the sea,
      the birds in the air, the cattle,
   And, yes, Earth itself,
      and every animal that moves on the face of Earth."
   God created human beings;
      he created them godlike,
   Reflecting God's nature.
      He created them male and female.
   God blessed them:
      "Prosper! Reproduce! Fill Earth! Take charge!
   Be responsible for fish in the sea and birds in the air,
      for every living thing that moves on the face of Earth."

 29-30 Then God said, "I've given you
      every sort of seed-bearing plant on Earth
   And every kind of fruit-bearing tree,
      given them to you for food.
   To all animals and all birds,
      everything that moves and breathes,
   I give whatever grows out of the ground for food."
      And there it was.

 31 God looked over everything he had made;
      it was so good, so very good!
   It was evening, it was morning—
   Day Six.

Today I want you to meditate on two verses that God brought to me this morning and I pray that you receive them as gifts from your Father in Heaven that loves you so dearly. The first is found in Matthew;

Matthew 5:48 (MSG)

"In a word, what I'm saying is, Grow up. You're kingdom subjects. Now live like it. Live out your God-created identity. Live generously and graciously toward others, the way God lives toward you."

It is funny how in reading I find myself in the first book of the New Testament and then end up getting confirmation out of the last.

Revelation 3:21 (MSG)

"Look at me. I stand at the door. I knock. If you hear me call and open the door, I'll come right in and sit down to supper with you. Conquerors will sit alongside me at the head table, just as I, having conquered, took the place of honor at the side of my Father. That's my gift to the conquerors!

I tell you today from a father’s heart live out your God-created identity and be the Conqueror that Jesus proclaims you to be in life and live generously and graciously towards others!

I just want each and every one of you to know today that God loves you and sees you as Good!  God wants you to have all that He has for you.  You are royalty, a child of the King.  How do you walk, talk, and carry yourself.  Believe that you are a Conqueror in all areas of your life and know that you sit alongside Jesus at the head table!

I end today with a precious verse found in 2 Corinthians 13:14 (MSG)

The amazing grace of the Master, Jesus Christ, the extravagant love of God, the intimate friendship of the Holy Spirit, be with all of you.

Live life knowing who you are because of the Heavenly Father that loves You!

God Loves You! You Are Blessed!
