Father's Heart (B)

With Jesus! Amen!

Read: Psalm 67: 10, 12, 67: 19-20, 107: 15;

1 John 4:10, 12; Psalm 68: 5-6

This is love: not that we loved God, but that he loved God, but that he loved us and sent his son as an atoning sacrifice for our sins.

1 John 4: 10

       Today I went back from TMCC church in Kihonda, my car was stopped in the middle of the road, and I prayed and started car slowly to arrive the garage. And I deleted an important interview video for Apostle Joshua today. All the trouble, I choose to be joy for the Lord.

        We continue this topic: Father's Heart as below:

(2)  Refining.

        In Psalm 67: 10 said, "For you, O God, test us; you refined us like silver." And verse 12 said, "You let men ride over our heads; we went through fire and water, but you brought us to a place of abundance." God tests and refined us like silver, we go on test, just a test, in God's test, no one will fail, if we don't pass it, we just take over and over again. God allows the men ride over our heads, they have given us the long-suffering with God permitting, we have gone through fire and water (describe the hardship), but God has brought us to a place of abundance. He needs to refine us, so that we have a good character and a place of abundance is a harvest or fruit, God has given us after we passed the test.

(3)  Listening our prayer.

        In Psalm 67: 19-20 said, "but God has surely listened and heard my voice in prayer. Praise be to God, who has not rejected my prayer or withheld his love from me." Today, my car entered garage, then this evening, my car has already fixed and I went and paid to a boss, I drove home as my praise of Jesus. I believe that God likes our voice for prayer, he listens and answers us or rescues us or deliver from this situation. Thanks be to our Lord!

(4)  love.

       In 1 John 4: 10 said, "This is love: not that we loved God, but that he loved us and sent his son as an atoning sacrifice for our sins." and verse 12 continually said, "No one has ever seen God; but if we love one another. God lives in us and his love is made complete in us. God is good all time. We sang from time to time. God is love, he loved us and sent his only son Jesus as an atoning sacrifice for our sins, He died our place and in order to set us free indeed. Then if we love one another, Jesus lives in us, He dwells in us, He reminds in us and his love is made complete in us. It is not we can, but He can do for us. His strength pass down to us who can do impossible thing as love as Jesus has done!

       In Psalm 107: 15 said, "Let them give thanks to the Lord for his unfailing love and his wonderful deeds for men." Amazed love, how sweet the sound, his unfailing love and his wonderful deeds for us, we need to give thanks to come back to our Father in Heaven. Thank you, Abba, Father, we love you!

(5)  Give us family.

        In Psalm 68: 5-6 said, "A father to the fatherless (a mother to the motherless), a defender of widows is God in his holy dwelling. God sets the lonely in families, the desolate in a homeland, he leads forth the prisoners with singing, but the rebellious live in a sun-scorched land."

       We are God's family, we are not lonely. We may alone, but we are not lonely. He give us family, he became "a father to the fatherless, or a mother to the motherless," He sets the lonely in families. We receive his promises. God will do what he has promised. Thank you to our Almighty God!

        Tomorrow, we will continue to talk the Father's Heart, this topic is great to know God and yourself well. Thank you, Holy Spirit has led me to write, not my words, but his. Glory to Him alone!

Refined us and test us is process to build our characters up in God's perfect plan and purpose.
