Children of God

Behold what manner of love the Father has bestowed on us, that we should be called children of God! 1 John 3:1

Happy Father’s Day to all the Fathers out there: the biological fathers, the step fathers, the spiritual fathers, the mentors. 
To grow physically, emotionally and spiritually in a healthy manner we need strong, loving, mature and compassionate fathers. 
Fathers that love us, encourage us, chastise us and guide and direct us. 
We also have these most important characteristics in our Heavenly Father. 
John says in excitement and awe, “Behold what manner of love the Father has bestowed on us, that we should be called children of God!” 
And if we are called children of God, then we have a right and the blessing to call Him Father. 
What a privilege indeed.

The Lord is my Shepherd

The LORD is my shepherd;
I shall not want.
He makes me to lie down in green pastures;
He leads me beside the still waters.
He restores my soul;
He leads me in the paths of righteousness
For His name’s sake.
Yea, though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death,
I will fear no evil;
For You are with me;
Your rod and Your staff, they comfort me.
You prepare a table before me in the presence of my enemies;
You anoint my head with oil;
My cup runs over.
Surely goodness and mercy shall follow me
All the days of my life;
And I will dwell in the house of the LORD
Forever.
Psalm 23
We are like sheep and the Lord as the shepherd.  
He anticipates all of our needs and makes provision for us in all areas of our lives.  
We are loved beyond measured and cared for like no other.  
Rest in the Presence of the Shepherd today.
