TALK IT OVER
Read Isaiah 9:6. What qualities make God a good Father? How does the reminder that God is the Everlasting Father affect the way you live, love, and serve others?
Sometimes it can be difficult to remember God is the Everlasting Father when our earthly fathers fall short. What Bible stories or testimonies do you turn to as a reminder that God is the Father who stays, forgives, and runs toward you?
What do you need from your heavenly Father today, this week, or in this season? Spend time sharing openly and then pray together.
