OUR LOVING HEAVENLY 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
King James Version

Our Heavenly Father loves us so much He gave His own Son to die on the cross for our sins. It is time that we start loving our Heavenly Father and giving back to Him.

As we remember our dads on Father's Day, let us remember how much our Heavenly Father has done for us and how much He loves us. The greatest thing we can do for our Heavenly Father is to be kind and loving to His Son.

We read in the Bible "And Jesus, when he was baptized, went up straightway out of the water: and, lo, the heavens were opened unto him, and he saw the Spirit of God descending like a dove, and lighting upon him: And lo a voice from heaven, saying, This is my beloved Son, in whom I am well pleased." (Matthew 3:16, 17).

All of us need to search our heart and see if our Heavenly Father is pleased with the way we are treating His Son. Jesus has not only told us to love one another, He has commanded us to love one another. We read in the Bible. "This is my commandment, That ye love one another, as I have loved you." (John 15:12).

Can we honestly say that we always love one another unconditionally? The answer is no and I'm just as guilty as you are. It is time that we stop hurting our Heavenly Father and start loving one another as we have been commanded to love each other.

Heavenly Father, I love You and appreciate all You have done for me. Thank You for the assurance You give us that You will never hit us or kick us out of Heaven.

Thank You for the privilege You have given me to write daily devotions and tell everyone how much Jesus loves them. In Jesus' Name, I pray and thank You. Amen.
