God lives and works today.
Yes, and He shows His love and power
to us as a true Father.
Today's meditation by Bess Eliashlin takes a look
at what it means to be able to
know God as our Father, a Father who
is greater than all.
Jesus says in John 10, verse 29, My
Father is greater than all.
What a promise!
His love is greater than all human love,
and He is more willing to help than
any other.
The help which He offers us is greater
than our difficulty.
His forgiveness is greater than our burden of
sin.
Yes, He is greater than the anguish of
all suffering which may descend upon us.
Because He loves us as a Father, He
takes care that times of refreshment always follow
difficult times.
Therefore, in times of suffering, let us look
forward to the times of happiness which will
most definitely follow.
Then we will overcome the oppressing power of
sadness.
Father of comfort, Father of comfort, Your
comfort is gentle and soothing and mild.
You heal all the pain of each suffering
child.
O praise you, my Father, praise you, my
Lord.
Father of comfort, Father of comfort, Father of
comfort.
Yes, God is a true Father.
A good, earthly Father pays attention to every
small thing which His child does.
How much more does the Father in Heaven
do just that?
The smallest things that we do in secret,
a small sacrifice, an act of love, God
notices it and keeps it in His heart.
And one day it will happen as it
is written in Matthew 6, verse 4, He
will reward you openly on the day of
the Last Judgment, when He, as the Great
Rewarder, will give to each as he deserves.
Should not God's love, which rewards the smallest
deed and has put every tear in His
bottle, overwhelm us?
Consider this love in the darkest hours.
Then your trust will know no bounds, just
as His love knows no bounds or limits.
In every difficulty say, Father, You're greater than
all, and you will experience this truth.
I come with my praises for love which
so amazes the hearts of His children, once
full of their sin.
A heart full of kindness, a heart of
love and goodness, the heart of the Godhead,
our Father is He.
