I was glad when they said unto me, let us go into the house of the Lord.” (Psalm 122:1))
Proverbs 14:26
Whoever fears the Lord has a secure fortress, and for their children it will be a refuge.
You know, no one should be able to teach your child or children like you can. No babysitter, Sunday school teacher, aunt, uncle or in-law should not have the authority to instruct you child or children. This is an extraordinary privilege God has provided.
Beloved, God is everyone’s Father. Just think about all the emotions He must deal with all day every day. There isn’t an emotion on earth He hasn’t dealt with. There are many parents who are separated from their child or children. If you think it’s something new, well, think again because it’s not. God was separated from His child also. Is someone mistreating, or leading your child or children? They ridiculed and bullied God’s child. Is someone taking advantage (using) of your child? The Son of God was set up by false testimony and betrayed by a greedy follower.
I’m sure there are many of you that are forced to watch while your child suffers?
God watched His Son on the cross.
Beloved, we’re God’s children, suffering in a world of immorality that inflicts destruction on our bodies, warps our minds, and severs our relationships. We have an awesome Father. He doesn’t shrug His shoulders and say, “Oh well, that’s life, nor does He say, “It sucks to be you.” He didn’t go to all the trouble of introducing Himself to the world with the title of Father for nothing.
God chose a relationship title you I can identify with. We can now understand His heart when one of us (His children) are in pain.
So, whatever emotions you feel about your child or children, God feels about your child. Maybe more!!! I know that’s hard to believe, but God has known your child or children longer than you have. He hurt for your child/children before he/she was born. You’re not alone. When you shed tears, your Father is crying right by your side.
God’s the Father of your child/children also. Just as you’ll do everything to help your child/children during his/her pain, so will God.
Have a blessed Father’s Day.
