I Will Be A Father To You




2 CORINTHIANS 6:18 NKJ 18 "I will be a Father to you, And you shall be My sons and daughters, Says the LORD Almighty."

You may not have been blessed with good earthly parents. But you are blessed with a wonderful, perfect Heavenly Father! Earthly fathers may fail us, but Scripture reveals that our Father God is much better than any earthly parent. God is perfect, and He never fails!

 MATTHEW 7:11 NKJ 11 "If you then, being evil, know how to give good gifts to your children, how much more will your Father who is in heaven give good things to those who ask Him!

 ISAIAH 49:15 NKJ 15 "Can a woman forget her nursing child, And not have compassion on the son of her womb? Surely they may forget, Yet I will not forget you. You will face problems in life, but no matter what you face, your Father God will be there to take care of you. What did God mean when He promised to be a Father to you? A father is someone stronger, more capable, and more knowledgable than you are, and thus able to provide for you when you are not able to do so for yourself.

A good father assumes responsibility for his children, to provide for them, care for them, and train them so they can be successful. A school may decide to "expel" a child who is not responding as they wish. But a good father will continue to care for their child, no matter what. A child does not have to be perfect to be loved and provided for by a good parent. Nor do you have to be perfect for God to love you. God loves you simply because you are His child, not because you are perfect. A good father will correct you, but His aim is to provide encouragement, not discouragement. And a good father never expects more from a child than the child is capable of doing. Also a good father never does anything that would harm his child.

 Every good and perfect gift comes from our Father God, and anything harmful is from our enemy the devil. If you are a Christian believer then Almighty God promises to be a Father to you! What a comforting thought! This should cause you to face life with confidence.

SAY THIS: God promised to assume responsibility for being a Father to me!

welcome to my blog

Oh the waterfall of cleansing Grace! Welcome to my Grace blog.  I hope to both share and start a dialogue about Jesus Christ and how his life, relationships and teaching have a practical working value in our everyday lives. To go beyond our belief of Jesus... and into our belief in Jesus. I hope we can learn more about how the finished work of Christ on the cross empowers his work in us in our daily lives. I hope we can grow in His Grace and Wisdom! The name came from a Joseph Prince story in his book  "Destined to Reign"...here's the story: Prince tells the story of a young boy who found a rock out in the woods. Though it looked rough at first, he rinsed it in the small waterfall of a nearby stream. Turns out, the rock was marbly, smooth, and full of color. Not wanting to lose the rock, and afraid someone would take it from him if he took it home, he buried it back in the dirt in a tucked away place before he went home for the night. There, he left it. The ne...

... that saved a wretch like me.

my story is not much different from any other alcoholic or drug addict who is in recovery. we sought out a higher power because our Lives be came on manageable. through much self examination we came to understand our defects in character... we reached out to others for fellowship and mentoring. I, as many have, came to believe in Jesus as my higher power and five years ago I accepted Christ... I got into a church and started reading my Bible. I slowly developed a thirst for knowledge of God in His Word. my grandmother has been sending Christian books for years and I just shelved them, so I already had a decent size Christian library. I also be came a big watcher of Christian television. I tried out several different churches... looking for a place I could feel at home in. having had a big interest in philosophy and world religions in college, I had sampled from the religion buffet. I guess you could say I became ravenous with my new found faith. I read and listen to anything I could ge...

Giving Money Is One Way To Show Honor

PROVERBS 3:9-10 NKJ 9 Honor the LORD with your possessions, And with the firstfruits of all your increase; 10 So your barns will be filled with plenty, And your vats will overflow with new wine. Giving money is not the only way to show honor, but it is one way. The word translated honor means to value. Honoring someone is a way of showing them, and others, that they are valuable to you. Scripture connects giving of money with honor. Specifically included are God, your parents, those who preach or teach the Word of God, and widows.  MATTHEW 15:4-6 NLT 4 For instance, God says, `Honor your father and mother,' and `Anyone who speaks evil of father or mother must be put to death.'" 5 But you say, `You don't need to honor your parents by caring for their needs if you give the money to God instead.' 6 And so, by your own tradition, you nullify the direct commandment of God.  1 TIMOTHY 5:17-18 NKJ 17 Let the elders who rule well be counted worthy of double hono...
