Happy Father's Day

Happy Father's Day to our great God and father in heaven!

Thank you for the many blessings you've poured down on our lives. Thank you for creation, and thank you for salvation. Thank you for laughter, and peace, and hope, and joy. Thank you for wives and mothers and children. Thank you for homes to shelter us, food to feed us, clothes to cover us, cars to get us places, and jobs to support our families. Thank you for your words and teachers of it. Thank you for the freedom to get together and worship you together without fear of punishment or death. Thank you for the new hearts you've given us. Thank you for the atoning sacrifice of your son Jesus. Thank you for your promises. Thank you for everything you've done, do, and will do for us.

If you happened across this page and you don't know the light and love of Jesus Christ, please, turn to him. Recognize man's big problem is sin. Admit it and turn from it to Jesus and commit your life to him. We may all be God's creation, but we are not all children of God, and he is not our father, until we put our faith in Jesus Christ:

"He was in the world, and the world was made through him, yet the world did not know him. He came to his own, and his people did not receive him. But to all who did receive him, who believed in his name, he gave the right to become children of God." (John 1:10-12)

So as a believer and follower of Jesus Christ I can say "Happy Father's Day, Abba, Father, God."

Grace and Peace
