You are my Son/Daughter!

He is the God that restores and provide for every emotional need. You know I always hear people claim God as Jehovah Jireh, the Lord their provider and it always is in reference to monetary needs but God doesnt just supply our temporal needs he fulfills our eternal needs. You see as we prepare for eternity, Christ our Great Shepher is concern about our eternal destiny and thats why he provided Jesus our Savior because he knew that we needed to be rescued eternally.

Moreover in this season of my life, Im recognizing the Lord as a father. The other night I went to a friends house for Christmas dinner and it just amazed me the father's relationship with his daughters. His daughter who was about 25 walked in and his eyes lit up and he walked over hugged her and she held on to him and just was basking in the moment. I was looking on in disbelief, as I've never seen a daughter and father so intimate. It was almost weird for me and as I sat there and processed this. I felt the Lord said thats how I want to be with you. When you walk in my presence, I get excited and I want to wrap my arms around you. I want you to find safety and security in my arms, thats what a father does.

Psalm 2:7
I will proclaim the LORD’s decree: He said to me, “You are my son; today I have become your father.


He is an eternal father who is more concerned about your eternal destiny than your temporary plans. His delay or him saying no is his protection for you eternally. You see his plans are greater and much more sweeter and comes from a place of a loving father. A father that wants to protect you and lovingly provide for you. So this Christmas, receive the gift of a loving father. Open your arms and receive all that he has for you. Gods plans always have an eternal benefit, regardless of the temporary conditions.

I love you all. Merry Christmas.
