Words & Whispers

Reflections on “The Lord’s Prayer”, Matthew 6:9, “Our Father…”

Father of ‘us’. One Father of one family, the whole of humanity.

A loving, caring, nurturing Father who provides all our needs.

A Father who is trustworthy, true, proud of His children; joyful, enjoying time with His kids, playing and laughing.

A dependable Father – one who guides, protects and defends.

I hear the LORD say:

I am a father to the fatherless. I am the father who loves you unconditionally. I am the father who is steady, trustworthy and reliable.  I am the father who listens to you. I am the father who has compassion and mercy on you.  I am the father who seeks the lost until they are safe in my arms. I am the father who loves you with an everlasting love.

“I love you with an everlasting love;

this is why in my grace I draw you to me.”

Jeremiah 31:2  CJB
