As the Father has loved me, so have I loved you. Abide in my love. (John 15:9 ESV)
We must never lose sight of our true home which is finding the place of absolute contentment in the centre of the Father's love. As we do we discover that it’s a love that knows no limits to how far the Father will go to rescue us from the orphan hearted ways of the world. There are no situations that are beyond the reach of his love. The generosity and kindness of his love for us is endless. He is constantly rescuing us from ourselves and whenever we settle or become side-tracked he always offers more. This is the fulness of the gospel to live loved. We must never think we have found those limits or boundaries of love because there are none. And I pray that you, being rooted and established in love, may have power, together with all the Lord’s holy people, to grasp how wide and long and high and deep is the love of Christ, and to know this love that surpasses knowledge —that you may be filled to the measure of all the fullness of God. (Eph 3:17-19 NIV) The Father’s love goes beyond our knowledge: it's bigger, deeper and more intensive than we can ever think. And even if we ever think we have it measured we discover it still goes beyond our wildest dreams or imagination (Eph 3:20) His love is greater than all that we’ve experienced so far. It’s greater than we can ever imagine or dream about. This is the love we are invited to abide or remain in. This is the love we can keep coming back to. Comments are closed.

Weekly SignpostA Father to YOU is a signpost to the heart of the Perfect Father. When we became Christians we were given the right to become children of God (John 1:12). Sadly, many of us fail to take up that right and instead continue to live as slaves or orphans. But our true destiny is being sons and daughters who have a permanent place in the Father's family. This blog is an encouragement to help you know who God really is and who you really are. |
