Look into My Father’s heart, see love and mercy there Just because you can’t see Me doesn’t mean that I don’t care I give you earthly fathers as an example of My love They don’t always listen as I try to guide them from above I bring you My provision for each and every day By My grace and mercy, much harm is kept away Sometimes in My wisdom, consequences need to fall How else will you learn My Word, and answer when I call? Honoring both your parents is a way to honor Me A command with a blessing, to those who follow obediently Some fathers are a good example–some are very bad For those who haven’t known one–you can call Me, “Dad” Debbie Furey March 8, 2020 Ephesians 6:1-3 – “Children, obey your parents in the Lord, for this is right. 2 “Honor your father and mother”—which is the first commandment with a promise— 3 “so that it may go well with you and that you may enjoy long life on the earth.” Romans 8:14-16 – “For those who are led by the Spirit of God are the children of God. 15 The Spirit you received does not make you slaves, so that you live in fear again; rather, the Spirit you received brought about your adoption to sonship. And by him we cry, “Abba, Father.” 16 The Spirit himself testifies with our spirit that we are God’s children.” 1 John 3:1-10
