Father-heart Of God

On this Father’s Day, we were reminded that the Father-heart of God is LOVE ~ Faithful Love. There is nothing so immeasurable or as important as God’s Love and yet His Love is so misunderstood by man today. GOD IS LOVE! Have you ever considered the magnitude of that statement?

GOD’S LOVE IS UNCONDITIONAL
We love Him because He first loved us.
God’s love is not in any way influenced by anything we say or do

1 John 3:1 (NKJV) ~ "Behold what manner of love the Father has lavished on us, that we should be called children of God!"

God does not love us because we are valuable. We are valuable because God loves us.
Nothing we say or do can make Him love us less.
No matter what your life has been like, He still loves you!
The most important thing that you can learn in life is that God never stops loving you!

GOD’S LOVE IS UNENDING
God’s love for us is from eternity - without beginning and without ending
It is no secret, concerning our Father’s love: God doesn’t just love His children every now and then; indeed, it is a "love without end, Amen."

GOD’S LOVE IS UNCHANGABLE
One day C. H. Spurgeon was walking through the English countryside with a friend. As they strolled along, the evangelist noticed a barn with a weather vane on its roof. At the top of the vane were these words: GOD IS LOVE. Spurgeon remarked to his companion that he thought this was a rather inappropriate place for such a message. “Weather vanes are changeable,” he said, “but God’s love is constant.”
Spurgeon’s friend responded, “I don’t agree with you about those words, Charles. You misunderstood the meaning. That sign is indicating a truth: Regardless of which way the wind blows, God is love.”

THE FATHER-HEART OF GOD IS LOVE ~ Unconditional, Unending, Unchangable!
