Do You Talk to God as a Father? - Love Worth Finding - October 18

October 18, 2023 – Do You Talk to God as a Father?
1 John 3:1-3
Sermon: 2113 When We All Get to Heaven, Part 2

Pray Over This

“Behold what manner of love the Father has bestowed on us, that we should be called children of God! Therefore the world does not know us, because it did not know Him. Beloved, now we are children of God; and it has not yet been revealed what we shall be, but we know that when He is revealed, we shall be like Him, for we shall see Him as He is. And everyone who has this hope in Him purifies himself, just as He is pure.”
1 John 3:1-3

Ponder This

Did you know God cares for you? His heart is broken when your heart is broken, so it ought to be easy to talk with Him. You don’t talk with Him as Judge; He is Judge, but for you, He’s more than Judge. You don’t talk to Him as Ruler; He is Ruler. You don’t talk to Him as King; He is King. But you talk to Him as Father.

We have the Father’s companionship. I’m never alone. God is real to me. I don’t say that braggingly. It would be strange if I could not say that. I can be shut up alone with Him, and He’s never too busy to talk with me.

Sometimes I get busy, and the phone rings, and I don’t want to answer it, but I hate not to answer it. But it doesn’t matter how much work I have, if the person on the other end says, “Daddy,” I say, “What do you want?” It’s all the difference in the world. Why is that? These are my kids. In the same way, there is a relationship with Almighty God that is so wonderful! We are a part of the family of God. You may think He’s forgotten you, but He hasn’t.
