OUR HEAVENLY FATHER’S HEART

Let me tell you a true story I heard.

There was a pastor whose young child was diagnosed with cancer. The day his boy was scheduled for an operation, this father cried out to God, « God, I’m almost 30 years old, but my boy is only about three months old. Why don’t you just take some years off my life and give them to my boy? »

Then, from deep within him, he heard the voice of God say, « I am not like that. »
When the man heard that, he realized immediately that his son’s sickness was not from God.
He also realized that if he, who has faults, could want his child well, how much more his heavenly Father.
So he changed his prayer and said, « Father God, I come against this sickness and I ask you for healing for my child. » That day, on the operating table, the surgeons could find no trace of cancer in the child!

« If you then, being evil, know how to give good gifts to your children, how much more will your Father who is in heaven give good things to those who ask Him! »(Matthew 7:11)

Today, God wants us to know that He is not the kind of Father who wants us sick and defeated, keeps us poor and wanting, refuses to provide for our needs and denies us our blessings.

His joy is to enter into our joy and see us happy. If we, in spite of our faults, know how to give good gifts to our children, how much more will our Father in heaven give good things to us when we ask Him!

PRAYER:
Lord our God, let us know how much you love us.
It is in the precious name of your son Jesus Christ that we pray.
Amen.
