Expressions of God’s Fatherhood
Matthew 6:8-13
When we quiet ourselves before God, we will be able to sense His presence, and He will reveal more of who He is. We will also better understand His desire to communicate with us and show His love. We can trust that He hears us. If He wasn’t listening, why would Jesus have said, “Ask, and it will be given to you” (Luke 11:9)?
God’s unconditional love is the greatest expression of His Fatherhood—His love does not differ between those who accept and those who reject Him. Unfortunately, whoever rejects God positions himself in such a way that he cannot enjoy His love. But when we “remain” in Christ’s unconditional love by following Him, we are able to enjoy its fullness. (John 15:9-11)
The Lord promises to be with us forever. (John 14:16-18) How awesome to have a Father who is intimate with us, speaks to us, and offers us unconditional love that will never end.
