Verse of the Month

“The days of my life were spread out before You.  The days of my life are prepared before I'd ever lived one day.”  (Psalm 139:16b MSG)

Scripture Reading: Psalm 103:13; Lamentations 3:22-23 NKJV 

Great is the Unfailing Compassion of A Father

Providing for a child is no easy task and making sure the seven kids in my family were fed, clothed and cared for properly took faithful hard work.  It was difficult finding time to spend with my Dad because he always seemed to be working, but there was a  motive behind his diligence.

After his day job Dad came home for dinner and then went to work at another part time employment.  He did his best to provide all we needed because he loved and cared for us.

The bible tells us that the Heavenly Father has even greater love for His children than our earthly Dad.  He wants to give His children good things.

Jesus said in Matthew 7:11 and Luke 12:32 (NIV) that it pleases God to give to us, just as it does our earthly fathers. 

God has a loving, caring and generous heart.  His compassion is unfailing and unending.  It is His compassion that we look for in Christian’s that show others how much He cares for those who believe in His Son Jesus.

“Through the Lord’s mercies we are not consumed,

because His compassions fail not.

They are new every morning; great is Your faithfulness. 

(Lamentations 3:22-23 NKJV)

Maybe you didn’t have a Dad in the picture when growing up, or your relationship wasn’t close.  Let the Heavenly Father into your heart.  Believe He loves you and will fill that gap. Great is His compassion and He will never fail you. (cw) 

                          “As a father has compassion on his children,

     so the Lord has compassion on those who fear him.” (Psalm 103:13 CSB)
