God lives and works today, and He reveals
Himself to us in many different ways.
Today's meditation by Basilia Schlenk, A Father's Love,
tells us about one of these special plans
He has thought up to show us His
fatherly love.
In James 5.11 we read, The Lord
is compassionate and merciful.
This verse applies to the life of Job.
The Lord pitied Job.
God, as the Heavenly Father, suffered with His
servant when he had to go through such
difficult trials.
Whoever bears the sufferings of another seeks ways
to prepare a good ending.
So at the end, God bestowed upon Job
more than he had had before.
This is an eternal law of the love
of God and His relationships to His chosen
ones.
Therefore, wait for the gracious end of your
suffering, and you will experience that God will
do more good things for you than before.
Whoever wants to confirm what a loving Father
we have, picture in spirit the City of
God.
Out of great love, God has prepared a
heavenly creation full of glory and perfect beauty
to be the eternal dwelling place of those
who belong to Him.
Yes, the Father wants to see His children
happy.
That's why He has prepared heaven, the City
of God, for their eternal home where they
can live forever in bliss.
Therefore, in days of suffering, think of the
love of the Father, which has prepared a
heaven full of glory.
In times of suffering, think of the love
of the Father, which has prepared a heaven
full of glory.
In times of suffering, think of the love
of the Father, which has prepared a heaven
full of glory.
The Father Himself has promised that He will
wipe away every tear from our eyes.
He will take us into His arms and
will embrace us, just as Jesus depicted it
in the parable of the prodigal son.
After this slight momentary affliction, He wants to
give us an eternal weight of glory beyond
all comparison.
Without end, our Father wants to repay us
for our sufferings.
Full of joy, He wants to show us
the harvest of our days on earth.
Towards this goal, our thoughts should be directed.
Then, our greatest sufferings will seem small to
us.
All sorrow, pain, and woe, at sight of
You must go.
Heaven calls to me, I long, my Lord,
to see.
My heart for Father yearns, so homeward ever
turns.
