Welcome to the best Dad I know

This is my second week back in Bible school and it has been a week that has touched my heart so much that I am broken again in my heart for the Love that God has for me and for each one of us, it has humbled my heart and brought tears of thankfulness, let me tell you.....................

Can you imagine you are a father, you love your child so so much with all your heart, you want the best for him or her, you want to show them everything you made for them; you want to share all the fun things in life with them, you want to see there faces when they smile and you want to be the one that wraps them in your arms when they are hurting or are sad or sick, you tell them off when they are naughty because you love them and you want them to be the best person they can be. Well this is how God has been and is with us every day!!

Studying through the Old Testament with every book I see God's passionate pursuit for his peoples hearts he is running after them, they need water, he gives it, they need food, he gives it, they face impossible situations and God shows them a away through it. He loves and loves and loves on them all the time even though they are sinning and turning their backs on Him and worshiping other gods and treating others unfairly.

"He will tend His flocks like a shepherd: 

he will gather the lambs in his arms; he will carry them in His bosom, 

and gently lead those that are with young" 

Isaiah 40 v 11

In Isaiah this week we are seeing how God's heart was so broken over the pain of his people not following Him. We see that God has so much love for them that he restores them, he rebuilds what is ruined and he restores their hearts, he brings them out of Exile....

 "I have blotted out your transgressions like a cloud,

 and your sins like a mist, returned to me for I have redeemed you" 

Isaiah 44 v 22

We read about so many prophecies about,...JESUS coming, this is how much God loves His people even after they for years have turned their back again and again to Him, He still loves them with His whole heart and wants to give them something so precious to Him.

So seeing these prophecies in Isaiah about Jesus coming and how he is sent to earth to show us how to live with each other, how to love each other and to be kind to those around us and afar, to be generous, to share, to be gracious, to have mercy and to walk how Jesus did........... He never judged, he never thought he was better than anyone else, he had a humble heart he was selfless, he was someone who loved and loved those that no one else wanted to love!!

For me this has shown me even more how God Loves us so much, that he wants us to live our lives with him, it made me be so thankful of God's heart for never giving up on me, even when I have turned my back on Him, even when I have done things that I know have hurt God and gone against his will, he has never left me or ever turned against me, he has taken me back with open arms and loved me unconditionally!!


That's the Dad I want you all to know, like I am blessed to know............
