MY FRIENDS, SALUTATIONS FROM THE FATHER!!

It will soon be Father’s day. And when Our Father which art in heaven establishes an intimate love affair with His Children Its personal because He is a personal God who has made us joint heirs with His only Begotten Son. And His hope is that we will commit to an ever ending love affair becoming one in the same with His Son through His Spirit and when His Son “is revealed, we shall be like Him, for we shall see Him as He is.” “And the Father will then see us just as perfectly righteous as His Son [as we enter His kingdom] 1 John 3:2 (NKJV) 2 Cor 5:21 (KJV)

Remember God the Father “made us for an intimate union with Himself.” Man’s definition of intimate is usually defined in terms of sex. But “Paul explains that the human capacity for love is gradually lost through lust….Lust is the ultimate illusion because it promises what it can’t deliver” Eph 4:19 (KJV) (Ty Gibson, A God named Desire) Now with our finite minds imagine a Child who has developed this ever ending love affair with the Father who has always been the light of this Child’s world?

And now this Child seeks love from another. The Father knew, as long as the Child followed in His footsteps He would never walk in darkness, but would have the light of life.” 1 John 4:8 (KJV) Paraphrased. And it’s that light which defines who our Father is and the ever ending love He has towards His children to save us from the forces of evil.

So, how far does a child rebel before the Father confesses “My Spirit shall not strive with my Child forever?” And how far does a child rebel before the Father grieves in His heart, that this child was a creation of His?” Gen 6:3-6 9 (KJV) paraphrased. My friends, we are never beyond the Father’s love and sovereignty, so only eight reciprocated the love that was extended to the entire world and with that eight the plan of Salvation was put into place.

And so, the Father the light of all mankind gave His only Begotten Son and made him the light of this world that who so-ever believeth in Him shall not parish but will receive everlasting life in a “place  Eye has not seen, nor ear heard, Nor have entered into the heart of man The things which God has prepared for those who love Him” John 3:16 (KJV), 1 Cor 2:9 (NKJV)

Now there was one, Anna, a prophetess, the daughter of Phanuel, of the tribe of Asher. She was of a great age, and had lived with a husband seven years from her virginity; and this woman was a widow of about eighty-four years, who did not depart from the temple, but served God with fastings and prayers night and day.” Luke 2:36 (KJV)

My friends, Anna knew of human love but, when she had a love affair with God her life was never the same. Fathers, you understand the ecstasy of human passion for a woman, your Children, family and friends, now God needs you to Go beyond those feelings as you think of love as Anna loved and as the Father loves us.

That selfless, sacrificial, and unconditional love,“for scarcely for a righteous man will one die; yet perhaps for a good man someone would even dare to die. But The Father [the light of the universe] demonstrates His own love toward us, in that while we were still sinners, [He gave His only begotten Son to die in our stead and for all who believes]. Rom 5:7-8 (NKJV) HAPPY FATHERS DAY
