When we remember the Fathers love for us it lifts us up above the fears of the world. Romans 8:15, For we did not receive the spirit of bondage again to fear, but we receive the spirit of adoption by Whom we cry, Abba Father. Father God, Thank you for loving me and taking care of me. Bless my church, Pastor Ron, and his family. Bless my teachers for teaching me Your Word. I believe your love is fowing through me to other people. Help me to obey my parents so things will go well with me and I will live a long life on the earth. I will tell how great you are and how much I love you. I thank You that by Jesus stripes I am healed. In Jesus' name, Amen For with Gods authority I command even the unclean spirits and they obey me. Mark 1:27b God gives unto me the power to tread on serpents and scorpions and over all the power of the enemy. Luke 10:19 God does not oppose me because I am not proud. He gives me grace because I am humble. I Peter 5:5c God is our heavenly Father and loves us with a perfect love, but because all we know here on earth is our earthly father we think basing our ideas about God on our experiences with our earthly father. We become afraid that we will not live up to the expectations of our heavenly Father and He will reject us. This is especially true if we have felt rejected, overlooked, or ignored by our father on earth. Even if we had a dad that we knows loves us, is there for us, and disciplines us; we must remember that he is loving us the best way he can, but that love is not always perfect. Or just maybe we are unthankful for the good dad we have and our ungrateful heart blocks us from feeling the perfect love of God. Father God wants us to trust Him like a Daddy who accepts us, protects us, and loves us fercely. In our memory verse the word Abba describes a child running and being lifted in the air and then held close, lovingly. Letting God love us like this will help us as we grow to trust God as the Father who is mighty and wise, knowing all and seeing all, to lavish His holy love on us. Living from this place of confdence in the Fathers love allows us to worship Him with our whole heart every day.
