I can only imagine this type of earthly father; can't grasp it. The 'Father-Daughter' analogy had me in tears; only knew earthly fathers who abandoned that type of girl. I never seen a father come to a prostitute daughter's rescue. This message helped me open my heart more to Trust and Receive from a Father who gave me HIS Holiness in exchange for a life of trash. NO ONE on earth ever came within 50 miles of being that type of person in my life. He has done so much for me and by Grace gave me a New Birth without me 'accepting Him' or asking for Him. They that are SICK need a Physician. THAT'S why He drew and Saved me !!! I qualify as having been sick and chief among sinners. My heart's cry is "That I may KNOW Him", the Father I never had on earth.
Pastor Bill This message just makes me want to fall in love with the Father,the Lord Jesus and the Holy Ghost so intimately and all over again, Thank You Kindly. Oh it is so good . I am in love our Father is so good...................................................................
U missed the point entirely...as he used that as an example when our desires line up with God’s desires...then we compliment the Father via His nature IN us.
ALL I could want or ask for is for more love so I am able to love like God lovesThe most important one,” answered Jesus, “is this: ‘Hear, O Israel: The Lord our God, the Lord is one.e 30Love the Lord your God with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your mind and with all your strength.’f 31The second is this: ‘Love your neighbor as yourself.’g There is no commandment greater than these.”
