Father

Father, You are so good and today on Father’s Day, I want to thank You for who You are. Thank You Father, for all You have done for us, all You are still doing—and all You intend to do.

Starting in the beginning, thank You for all the beauty You created for us to live in. The wonderful foods You made for us to eat, and the animals You created for us to enjoy. Thank You Father, too, that You would love us so much to know even before You created us, that we would sin — even still, You decided we would be worth all the trouble You would have to go through— and you created us anyway.

When our sin got to the point where You just couldn’t take it anymore, You started again, when You could have given up—You kept the few righteous and began again. Your love, Father, is mesmerizing! Even to share with us Your pain that You regretted making man, to show us Your feelings, is breathtaking to me. To know that it hurt you to have to start over, but you did, and you will again. You don’t quit Father, which inspires me not to quit.

You sent Your Son, part of Yourself, to save us once and for all from our sin, becoming sin for us. How is there a greater love? There is none like You, Father! Father, Your love is overwhelming you are so faithful to us.

Your love for us is so much that you give us a choice. While You have the power to control us, You give us a choice. You let us choose our destiny —whom we will serve. Father God, You are so wonderful, so beautiful. What can I say?

Now in this place in my life, knowing Your thoughts, those thoughts You have chosen to share with me— I know Your thoughts are always on Your children, and I can see how much each and every one individually means to You. 

My last assignment Lord, Father God, should have been my heart, but it was Yours. Teach me to care like you do for what I can see You are the Master of Love. You are Love and Your Love is extraordinarily excellent, without flaw, mature, and selfless— beyond any love I have ever known.

Thank You, Father, for being You! Thank You for all You are doing to save us from damnation. Thank You that even one of us is worth a thousand years to You; how not one of us goes unnoticed in Your eyes. Thank You, Father, for showing me how great isYour love — so that I can understand the importance of Your Love and so that I can live to imitate You!

Thank You, Father, for Your patience for me; for all of us, especially for all those who don’t know You. Thank You Father, for Jesus and all He did— for showing us how life is supposed to be. Thank You, that You never give up and for Your efforts you make to be sure none shall perish. Your Love is us is astounding! Happy Fathers Day<3
