What My Heavenly FAther is Like

What Father is Like What really is God's attitude toward us. I used to have a warped view of God. I did not view Him as a loving, caring Father. Instead I believed in a God who was critical, punishing, or distant. These views of God came from my family background and the religious traditions that didn’t understand the message of Grace in Jesus Christ. I am so grateful for A woman by the name of Sandra Westcott who showed me the love of Jesus and taught me how I needed to allow God to re-parent me in the true image of who He is. through his word. I have compiled the following scriptures to teach me and others like me Just What My Heaenly Father is Like.. The Word of God has a unique ability to go deep into our soul and transform our thinking. Here is what my heavenly Father is really like. Isaiah 54:10:Though the mountains be shaken and the hills be removed, yet my unfailing love for you will not be shaken nor my covenant of peace be removed,” says the LORD, who has compassion on you. Matthew 7:11:If you, then, though you are evil, know how to give good gifts to your children, how much more will your Father in heaven give good gifts to those who ask him! Matthew 11:28-30:“Come to me, all you who are weary and burdened, and I will give you rest. Take my yoke upon you and learn from me, for I am gentle and humble in heart, and you will find rest for your souls. For my yoke is easy and my burden is light.” Mark 6:34:When Jesus landed and saw a large crowd, he had compassion on them, because they were like sheep without a shepherd. So he began teaching them many things. John 14:18:I will not leave you as orphans, I will come to you. John 16:27:Jesus said, "The Father Himself loves you because you have loved me and have believed that I came from God." Romans 8:15For you did not receive a spirit that makes you a slave again to fear, but you received the Spirit of sonship. And by him we cry, “Abba, Father.” Romans 8:32:God who did not spare his own Son, but gave Him up for us all—how will the Father not also, along with Christ, graciously give us all things? Romans 8:38-39For I am convinced that neither death nor life, neither angels nor demons, neither the present nor the future, nor any powers, neither height nor depth, nor anything else in all creation, will be able to separate us from the love of God that is in Christ Jesus our Lord. Romans 15:7Accept one another, then, just as Christ has accepted you, in order to bring praise to God. Galatians 3:26:You are all sons of God through faith in Christ Jesus. Ephesians 2:4-7:But because of his great love for us, God, who is rich in mercy, made us alive with Christ even while we were dead in transgressions--it is by grace you have been saved. And God raised us up with Christ and seated us with Him in the heavenly realms in Christ Jesus, in order that in the coming ages he might show the incomparable riches of his grace to us, expressed in his kindness to us in Christ Jesus. Hebrews 12:7,10:Endure hardship as discipline; God is treating you as sons. For what son is not disciplined by his father? Our fathers disciplined us for a little while as they thought best; but God disciplines us for our good, that we may share in his holiness. Hebrews 13:5b:God has said, “Never will I leave you; never will I forsake you.” 1 Peter 5:7:Cast all your anxiety on God because He cares for you. 1 John 4:16-18:And so we know and rely on the love God has for us. God is love. Whoever lives in love lives in God, and God in him. In this way, love is made complete among us so that we will have confidence on the day of judgment, because in this world we are like Him. There is no fear in love. But perfect love drives out fear, because fear has to do with punishment. The one who fears is not made perfect in love. 1 John 5:3:This is love for God: to obey his commands. And His commands are not burdensome. My prayer for you today is that you will come to know what you heavenly father is like.
