OUR HEAVENLY FATHER REALLY LOVES US

“I will arise and go to my father, and will say unto him, Father, I have sinned against heaven, and before thee.  And am no more worthy to be called thy son: make me as one of thy hired servants.  And he arose, and came to his father.  But when he was yet a great way off, his father saw him, and had compassion, and ran, and fell on his neck, and kissed him.”

Luke 15:18-20 KJV

Our Heavenly Father really loves us because when we go to Him and ask Him to forgive us for something we have done that hurt Him, if we will look with the eyes of our heart we will see Him running to meet us and kiss us as He says to us “Welcome Home”.  What a tender and precious Heavenly Father we have.

We know that our Heavenly Father loves us.  He has proved how much He loves us when He gave Jesus to us to be our personal Saviour.  The question every Christian needs to ask himself or herself is “How much do I love my Heavenly Father and what am I doing for Him”?

Heavenly Father, we give You praise and we thank You for being a tender loving Father.  Thank You for being a compassionate forgiving Father.  I’m sorry for the times when I have failed You and hurt You.  Help us to love unconditionally as Jesus has commanded us to love.  In Jesus’ Name, I pray.  Amen.
