Today I was moved to write this note entitled Father’s Love. When we talk about the Father’s love, what comes into your mind? I am not talking about our earthly fathers but our Heavenly Father. This Father’s Love is something we individuals experience. It is an individual encounter with the Lord. Have you encountered His Love?
Jeremiah chap 31 :3 (NIV)
The Lord appeared to us in the past, saying:
“I have loved you with an everlasting love;
I have drawn you with unfailing kindness.
How do we experience this Father’s love?
John chap 1: 1 (NIV) In the beginning, was the Word and the Word was with God and the Word is God.
Many of us go searching for God outside of the Word of God. We may be faithful Christians. We may be actively involved in church activities but we tend not to take time off to just spend some time with the Lord.
Have we come before the presence of the Lord with so much of complaints and prayer requests? Have you been noisy before the Lord? How do you want to experience the Father’s love when we have so much of worries. Unforgiveness, bitterness, and offense slowly creep into the heart when we realize things don’t go according to our plan.
If you are going through a very challenging situation, you may have night cries within your heart every single night, I would like to encourage each of my readers, to be bold and courageous. Stop figuring out how. Just submit your current situation unto the Lord and spend time with Him. Spend time just reading the Word of God. Even if you don’t understand a certain passage, it is ok. The more time you spend with the Lord, the Holy Spirit will open your hearts and mind to the realities of the Word of God.
My late grandfather used to be up every morning by 5am singing praises to God and reading the Word of God. I was young at that time. I could always hear him reading the Bible out aloud through my room window. I would be lazy to wake up and join his prayer sessions, but I believe he was a man of God who knew and experienced the love of the Father.
The new generation now is so drawn into the busyness of life, social media, and hangouts, that we forget what the Lord requires is just some quiet time from us. We must spend time knowing who is Jesus Christ. Once we know and experience the reality of this true God in our lives, things can never be the same again. The Bible becomes so ALIVE!
To my readers, our Heavenly Father wants you to experience His Love again.
It is ok if things don’t go according to your plan. The Lord Almighty has a better plan. Just trust the Lord. Do not fret, just soak in His presence and His Love. Talk to Him. Hear from Him. He will take care. If you loved someone, you would spend time knowing the person. Get to know the Lord. Spend time with the Lord.
1st Corinthians chap 2: 9 ( NIV)
However, as it is written:
“What no eye has seen,
what no ear has heard,
and what no human mind has conceived”
the things God has prepared for those who love him—
Say this today : The Lord loves me-R.J.JOHN
Prayer for today : ”Abba, I thank you Lord for this Love upon me and my readers today. I pray for your touch upon us.I pray we experience your love like never before again.
Application:
- Spend time with the Lord.
2. Pick one book of the Bible. For example, the book of John. Study and meditate upon the book.
Joy of the Lord is my Strength Note Series 
Amen. Thanks for this inspiring and comforting message on the Father’s love. It’s a glorious favour and honour to be born again of the Spirit of God into children of God. Unlike human children who grow into independence from their fathers, children of God are born of Him into union with Him to permanently depend on Him, so that they’re always in communion with Him being nurtured and protected and guided by Him continuously. And He is the ultimate of a good father. Let’s remain aware daily of our constant abode in Him and His eternal love and care for us and be thankful.
