Hi Folks,
I hope you had a good weekend!! I have a few Father's Day devots. below, but they do not apply just to the guys.
Galatians 3:26 says, "For ye are all the children of God by faith in Christ Jesus." I was having a conversation with someone yesterday and I was explaining that the moment they trusted Jesus Christ as their personal Savior and only way of getting to Heaven, they were adopted into God's Family, they became one of God's kids through their faith in Jesus Christ.
I explained that just as an adoptive child is brought into a family, is made their rightful child and legally cannot be disowned, when someone trusts Jesus as their Savior, they become God's child, are brought into His family and can never be disowned. John 1:12 says, "But as many as received him (i.e. accept Jesus to be their Savior), to them gave he power (the right) to become the sons of God, even to them that believe on his name: (have trusted Him for salvation)." Galatians 4:6 says, “And because ye are sons, God hath sent forth the Spirit of His Son into your hearts, crying, Abba, (Meaning "Papa," "Daddy") Father.”
Based on this verse, only to those who have personally, once and for all trusted Jesus as their Savior, can they be given the right to call God their "Daddy", but what a humble privilege it is to be able to say that you are one of God's kids!!!!
If Father's Day is not the easiest of days for you because your dad was not active in your life, or was very much there, but is no longer-if you have trusted Christ as your Personal Saviour- then you can take heart that you still have a Father who loves you unconditionally and is there for you 100%. Hebrews 13:5 states (speaking of God), "for he hath said, I will never leave thee, nor forsake thee."
I pray that whatever devot. you pick below is an encouragement to you-whether you are a dad, an uncle, someone that could have an impact on the life of a child by your godly testimony and involvement in their lives or you need a reminder that God your Father is with you at this time.
I have also included something at the very end of the devots. I received and copied this week. At this time in history, many are searching for answers even to the question, "Where will I go when this life is over?" The info. below will give you a chance to let someone else hear the good news that God can be their Savior and Father as well!! Read the details and see what you could do to give someone else the chance that you were given-to hear that Jesus saves!
Have a blessed week!
