We can call Him Father.
Ones Chosen Before the Creation of the World!
Members of His Household!
and do not call anyone one earth “father” because you have one Father and He is in Heaven. Matthew 23: 9
Every name God has, speaks of His character traits. They tell us things we can expect to see from Him, abilities He has and can and does use for us, His kids. These character traits speak of His good nature and all the good He provides for us, and all the good we can expect to see from Him in our lives. His names show us the things we can pray for, from Him, because His names assure us that these parts of His character are promises to us, from Him.
We Can Call Him Father.
And the name Jesus told us to call Him, was Father. Out of all the names He could have chosen for us to use, it was Father. That the Maker of Heaven and Earth, the One who spoke creation into being, who painted the galaxies, and all the sunrises and sunsets, says we are to call Him, Father.
We Can Call Him Father.
He is the Lord our Provider, the Lord Our Healer, the Lord my Banner, the Lord our Peace, and the Lord our Shepherd. So, we know that we can expect good, provision, love, protection, guidance but more so, for He is our perfect heavenly Father, able to do anything and everything. He is the Father to all mankind, all of us prodigals. And He comes running to gather us in His arms. He comes running to welcome us home. No matter the mud on our feet, nor the mud on our faces, He comes running to shower us with kisses. clothe us with the best robes and sandals and throw a feast for us and tells us we are His child, His Son, His Daughter. Even if we only came seeking Him for provision like the prodigal son, He still showers us with love and belonging, giving us a home, a family, and everything else we need. For He is our good good Father.
We Can Call Him Father.
May we know that we know that we know, we are chosen, we belong, we are wanted, we are included, we are seen, we are part of a forever family, where we will always have a place at the table, where we will always have a room in the house!
For We Can Call Him Father.
May we know that we know that we know, we are loved by The Creator and we can call Him Father.
