God as our loving Father

Let us rejoice that the Lord calls us his children

I will be a Father to you, and you will be my sons and daughters, says the Lord Almighty.
2 Corinthians 6:18

The Lord disciplines those he loves, as a father the son he delights in.
Proverbs 3:12

Endure hardship as discipline; God is treating you as sons. For what son is not discipline by his father?
Hebrews 12:7

O Lord, you are our Father. We are the clay, you are the potter; we are all the work of your hand.
Isaiah 64:8

You did not receive a spirit that makes you a slave again to fear, but you received the spirit of son ship. And by him we cry “Abba, Father.”
Romans 8:15

How great is the love the Father has lavished on us, that we should be called children of God! And that is what we are!
1 John 3:1

Since we are called God’s children, we can trust our Father that he will provide for us.

Jesus said: I tell you, do not worry about your life, what you will eat or drink: or about your body, what you will wear. Is not life more important than food, and the body more important than clothes? Look at the birds of the air; they do not sow or reap or store away in barns, and yet your heavenly Father feeds them. Are you not much more valuable than they?... so do not worry, saying what shall we eat? Or what shall we drink? Or what shall we wear? For the pagans run after all these things, and your heavenly Father knows that you need them.
Matthew 6:25-26, 31-32

The Israelites asked, and God brought them quail and satisfied them with the bread of heaven. He opened the rock, and water gushed out; like a river it flowed in the desert.
Psalm 105:40-41


God has shown kindness by giving you rain from heaven and crops in their seasons; he provides you with plenty of food and fills your hearts with joy.
Acts 14:17

Our loving Father cares for us, as his children we Need to listen carefully to his voice & obey.

Jesus said: The sheep listen to [the shepherd’s] voice. He calls his own sheep by name and leads them out. When he has brought out all his own, he goes on ahead of them, and his sheep follow him because they know his voice.
John 10: 3-4

Jesus said: I am the good shepherd; I know my sheep and my sheep know my—just as the father knows me and I know the Father—and I lay down my life for the sheep.
John 10: 14-15

Listen, listen to me, and eat what is good, and your soul will delight in the richest of fare.
Isaiah 55:2

Save your people and bless your inheritance, O Lord; be their shepherd and carry them forever.
Psalm 28:9

God 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 40:11

God desires to be part of your personal life; he wants to provide you with warmth, affection, discipline and accountability.

Praise be to the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, who has blessed us in the heavenly realms with every spiritual blessing in Christ. For he chose us in him before the creation of the world to be holy and blameless in his sight. In love he predestined us to be adopted as his sons through Jesus Christ, in accordance with his pleasure and will—to the praise of his glorious grace, which he has freely given us in the One he loves.
Ephesians 1:3-6


Before I was born the Lord called me; from my birth he has made mention of my name.
Isaiah 49:1

The Spirit himself testifies with our spirit that we are God’s children. Now if we are children, then we are heirs—heirs of God and co-heirs with Christ.
Romans 8:16-17

Both the one who makes men holy and those who are made holy are of the same family. So Jesus is not ashamed to call them brothers.
Hebrews 2:11

To all who received him, to those who believed in his name, he gave the right to become children of God—children born not of natural descent, nor of human decision or a husband’s will, but born of God.
John 1:12-13

God is truly great, he sends his only begotten son to die for our sins, all we have to do is to trust and have faith in Jesus Christ and accept him in out hearts, and all our sins will be forgiven, and the burden that we carry will become light.

You might be wondering how do I accept Christ in my heart? Well it’s very simple all u have to do is to pray sincerely, and ask… Jesus Christ I come to you to ask for forgiveness of my sins, I know that I’m a sinner and deserving of death, but lord you had mercy on me and you died for my sins, and I’m forever great full for that, now lord I invite you to come in to my heart and leave in me and help me change the way I live my life, lead my life that will bring glory and honor to you. Amen.
