THE GREATEST AND BEST FATHER

“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 honoring our dads on Father’s Day but we need to remember that our precious Heavenly Father is the greatest and best Father of all.  There are some children that run and hide when their dad comes home because they are afraid of him.  We never have to be afraid of our Heavenly Father.

How can we honor our Heavenly Father and make Him happy?  What touches His heart and makes Him happy is the way we treat His Son.  If we want to make God happy, we need to serve Jesus and give Him first place in our heart, in our life, in our time and in everything we do.  Jesus deserves first place.

If we will look with our heart, we will see the tears rolling down our Heavenly Father’s face because He had to turn away from His Son when Jesus was crucified for our sins.  God is a Holy God and He can’t look at sin.  I believe God’s heart was broken when His Son was crucified for our sins.

Do you understand how much God loves you?  He loves you so much He gave His beloved Son to die on the cross for your sins.  If you have a son, you know that you would never send your son to war if you knew he was going to be killed.  That is exactly what God did for us.  He sent Jesus to die so we can live.

Heavenly Father, You are so precious to me.  I love You and appreciate all You have done for me.  Thank You for loving me, for sending Jesus to die for my sins, and for adopting me into Your family.  In Jesus’ Name, I pray.  Amen.
