"THE FATHER’S HEART"

How patiently He unfolds His love,
Like a bud unfolding, petal by petal.
How gently He woos the child
He longs to gather in His arms.

No clumsy rush of affection His;
No blurted words, to cause a stab

 of fear. But with the patience

of His very attributes
He fans the flimsy flame of hope.

He takes the hope that barely dares

 to glow, And blows it with

 the gentlest whisper

 of His love.
One puff or one thousand

 times one thousand,
It’s all the same to Him, until

 enough’s enough.

And as that flame begins to flicker

to a light, It shows a love we

never dared to dream.
A love that will encompass all

our hurts and pain
And heal, restore, renew, regrow

and clean. Oh, Father heart,

that aches and longs for us,
Give us the strength to dare to

come to You. Help us to reach

the point of full surrender,
For when we lose ourselves,

then are we made complete in You.

Unfailing is God’s matchless love,
So kind, so pure, so true;
And those who draw upon that love
Show love in all they do. —D. De Haan

God’s love still stands when all else has fallen.



"See, the Sovereign LORD

comes with power, 
       and his arm rules for him.
       See, his reward is with him,
       and his recompense accompanies him.

He tends his flock like a shepherd:
       He gathers the lambs in his arms
       and carries them close to his heart;
       he gently leads those that have young."

~Isaiah 40:10-11~ 


"I drew them with gentle cords,
with bands of love"
~Hosea 11:4~


"This is good, and pleases God our Savior,
who wants all men to be saved and to come
to a knowledge of the truth. For there is one
God and one mediator between God and men,
the man Christ Jesus, who gave himself as
a ransom for all men—the testimony given
in its proper time."~1 Timothy 2:3-6~

Died He for me, who caused His pain?
For me, who Him to death pursued?
Amazing love! How can it be
That Thou, my God, shouldst die for me? —Wesley*The Father's love knows no limit.*

I sought the Lord, and afterward I knew
He moved my soul to seek Him, seeking me;
It was not I that found, O Savior true,
No, I was found of Thee. —Anon.

*Talk with God—He longs to hear from you.*

Jesus is calling to those who are weary,
And He is calling the thirsty ones too;
If for the Bread of Life you now hunger,
Hear His sweet voice saying, "Come." —Hess

*Jesus invites us to come to Him for life.*
