“I will be a true Father to you,
and you will be my beloved sons and daughters,”
says the Lord Yahweh Almighty.”—2 Corinthians 6:18 TPT“Look with wonder at the depth of the Father’s marvelous love that he has lavished on us! He has called us and made us his very own beloved children.”—1 John 3:1 TPT
“This resurrection life you received from God is not a timid, grave-tending life. It’s adventurously expectant, greeting God with a childlike “What’s next, Papa?” God’s Spirit touches our spirits and confirms who we really are. We know who he is, and we know who we are: Father and children. And we know we are going to get what’s coming to us—an unbelievable inheritance! We go through exactly what Christ goes through. If we go through the hard times with him, then we’re certainly going to go through the good times with him!”—Romans 8:15-17 The Message
Jesus said…
“…But whoever drinks of the water that I will give him will never be thirsty again. The water that I will give him will become in him a spring of water welling up to eternal life.”—John 4:14 ESV
I’m learning…
that sometimes I can find myself
seeking, searching, reaching
for things—without even realizing it
that only my Heavenly Father
can truly provide…
that only He can infuse
into my life,
as He draws me toward Himself.
And there are times…
that He will allow us
to become
“dissatisfied“
“disappointed“
in our quest—in our search
…in what we “haven’t found”…
And He does it
to draw us to Himself,
…deeper and deeper into His heart.
He does it to lead us into what is true.
He does it
to fill us,
to nourish us
with what is real…
something…that can only come from a Father-child relationship with Him.
And in this kind of “quest”…
we realize
that what we really need
…what we really desire
the only thing that can truly satisfy
is more and more of Him.
And so…
in these kinds of times…
In the midst of “lack”
in the “void”
in this midst of, “…something is missing”…
He draws us closer…
He takes us deeper.
Because He is going to become…
more
real
more “tangible” in our lives…
“right here, and right now.”
And in this kind of journey…
we’re going to
know
Him
more…
and we’re going to grasp
to learn
to experience…
that His heart, His LOVE
is like “an eternal well” ⛲️💝
that we can draw from…
And His love
is more than
anything
we could ever need.
Our Heavenly Father. 💝
The One our Lord Jesus
is always “introducing” us to,
…the Heart…
the Holy Spirit is always drawing and connecting us to.
And our Heavenly Father shows us…
that just as Jesus taught us when He lived here on the earth…
“Our Father…”
He is
“our” Father.
Thank You, Heavenly Father, for drawing me closer, for inviting me…
for leading me deeper into…
..that I may draw from You
that I may learn more
of how
to be Your beloved daughter.
