DID WE THANK HIM

“For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life.”

John 3:16 KJV

We will be celebrating Thanksgiving Day in two months but we should thank God every day of the year for loving us so much that He gave His Son to die for our sins.  Did we thank Him today, not only for His Son but also for all that He does for us every day.  We have a loving Heavenly Father.

One of the best ways we can thank God for our children is to set a good example for them.  Do our children know we love God?  A young boy said to his parents “You go to church, sing in the choir, and teach Sunday school but when you come home you criticize the pastor and the sermon”.  How we must hurt God.

Please join me in praising and thanking God for all He has done for us and for all He does for us every day.  Think about it!  God gave His only Son to die on the cross for our sins.  What kind of love is this?  It is an amazing, giving and unconditional love that can only come from the heart of our Heavenly Father.

Heavenly Father, You are a compassionate and tender loving Father and we appreciate You and love You.  Thank You for comforting us when we are discouraged and hurting.  I pray for every person who is hurting.  Please comfort and encourage them as You have done for me.  In Jesus’ Name, I pray.  Amen.
