WE ARE HURTING HIM

"Then shall the King say unto them on his right hand, Come, ye blessed of my Father, inherit the kingdom prepared for you from the foundation of the world: For I was an hungred, and ye gave me meat: I was thirsty, and ye gave me drink: I was a stranger, and ye took me in: Naked, and ye clothed me: I was sick, and ye visited me: I was in prison, and ye came unto me. Then shall the righteous answer him, saying, Lord, when saw we thee an hungred, and fed thee? or thirsty, and gave thee drink? When saw we thee a stranger, and took thee in? or naked, and clothed thee? Or when saw we thee sick, or in prison, and came unto thee? And the King shall answer and say unto them, Verily I say unto you, Inasmuch as ye have done it unto one of the least of these my brethren, ye have done it unto me."

Matthew 25:35-40
King James Version

When I was young and living at home, one of the neighbors said something mean to me and my Dad got upset and yelled at the man. It was the first and only time I saw Dad defend me and say something kind about me.

If we will listen with our heart, we will hear our Heavenly Father getting upset with us when we say and do things that hurt His beloved Son. What a tender loving compassionate Heavenly Father we are privileged to have. O how He loves us. He loves us so much He gave His Son to die on the cross for our sins. No one loves us as much as God and Jesus loves us and nobody ever will.

Heavenly Father, thank You for being a compassionate and loving Father even when I fail You and hurt You. I pray that You will help me keep my heart in right standing with You. I love You, dear Father, and I appreciate all that You do for me and all You have done for me. In Jesus' Name I pray, Amen.
