GOD OUR LOVING FATHER

The names of God reveal what He is like … and what His love is like. As Jehovah Raphah, the Lord our Healer, he shows His love by healing us. David called him “my Rock”: He offers Himself as stability in any situation, strong and steady. Isaiah was told His name would be “Emmanuel,” which means “God with us,” a great expression of His love by coming down as a human.

Jesus emphasized a name during His time on earth - Father. This was new insight into the love of God; previously He was mostly known as Jehovah (the One who exists, or I am who I am), or Adonai (Master, Lord). Jesus revealed Him as not just a father, but as “our” father. He taught His disciples to pray, “Our Father in heaven…” and taught about a number of things that our Heavenly Father does because He loves us.

• Our Father forgives generously and receives His children joyfully when they repent. (Luke 15:20-24)
• Our Father enjoys His children who are discreet about their spiritual accomplishments; He publicly rewards them when they pray, fast, and give in secret. (Matthew 6:1-18)
• Our Father is kind and blesses both good and bad people, and He desires His children to do the same. (Luke 6:32-36)
• Our Father is a good provider and takes care of His children’s needs. (Matthew 6:30-33)

Point of Action:

Whether you are currently drinking in the deliciousness of God’s love, or His love seems like a distant memory to you, meditate on the revelation of God as your personal Father, and invite Him to touch your heart today.
