“Therefore, as God’s chosen people, holy and dearly loved, clothe yourselves with compassion, kindness, humility, gentleness and patience.” – Colossians 3:12
A Father’s Love
“We are dearly loved. No matter how we are feeling and what the world is throwing at us God dearly loves us. Our father, or Dad as I call mine, here on earth is often where we get our cues for what a fathers love is like. Your Dad might not have been present, he might have been abusive, unavailable, hurtful or worse. If that is part of your story I am so very sorry. Or he might have been the best dad anyone could ask for. But no matter what kind of Dad you had or have he is not perfect. We can’t compare God’s love to the love we have experienced in a broken world.
Gods love is a perfect love. It is amazing. He will ALWAYS be there for you, he wants what is best for you, that is how much he loves you.”
Take some time today and reflect on these scriptures, allow the truth of them to flow over you, speak to you, heal you.
Psalm 68:5 Father of the fatherless and protector of widows is God in his holy habitation.
Psalm 103:13 As a father shows compassion to his children, so the Lord shows compassion to those who fear him.
1 John 3:1 See what kind of love the Father has given to us, that we should be called children of God; and so we are.
Romans 8:15 For you did not receive the spirit of slavery to fall back into fear, but you have received the Spirit of adoption as sons (and daughters), by whom we cry, “Abba! Father!”
Matthew 6:26 Look at the birds of the air: they neither sow nor reap nor gather into barns, and yet your heavenly Father feeds them. Are you not of more value than they?
2 Corinthians 6:18 And I will be a father to you, and you shall be sons and daughters to me, says the Lord Almighty.”

This is a excerpt of a session from our “Crowned – unboxing my identity” Journey Box.” We would love to invite you on this journey with us as we walk into all the challenges we face in this thing we call Identity, and then silence the noise and allow our Father to speak to our hearts, minds and souls, the truths He most wants us to here.
