Father does all in Love
1 John 4:8 …God is love. Love is who God is, His very essence. Therefore, God basis everything He does is in love. God never thinks a negative or critical thought about you. He thinks good thoughts toward you, thoughts of peace and not evil, to give you a future and a hope. (Jer.29:11)
Father is Not Insecure!
Think of your Father in heaven all loving, all knowing, all powerful. What could ever cause Him to feel threatened or insecure? Being critical and negative are defense mechanisms people use when they have been hurt and do not want to be hurt again. God is not sitting in heaven thinking that you just do not ever get it right or will not ever be obedient, so He is fed up with you and ready to abandon you.
1 John 4:18 There is no fear in love; but perfect love casts out fear, because fear involves punishment, and the one who fears is not perfected in love.
Father’s Plans toward You are Loving
Father is in heaven thinking how much He loves you, and in His omnipotence and omniscience is planning to bring you into the very best He has for you, what will fit you perfectly for the way He created you. His plan for you really is above all you could ask or even imagine. (Eph.3:20)
When God thinks of you as His child, it sends a thrill through His heart and He rejoices over you with joy and singing! (Zephaniah 3:17)
Is this the God you know?
About robert
That was the best possible way for me to start my day! That is the Daddy God I have known, but I needed a reminder. So many negative things have happened around me this summer I was beginning to loose sight of this most important foundational truth. Thank you so much for this!
Great word Robert!
What a wonderful message of joy and happiness. I feel great just reading that last quote from Zephaniah and letting that sink into my consciousness! Thanks Robert.

Wow – what a powerful reminder of the truth! This puts me back in touch with knowing that I am His beloved. How easy it is to get caught up in the stuff and business of life and drift from this truth that brings such peace and deep contentment
Thank you for the reminder Robert!
