“For to us a child is born, to us a son is given, and the government will be on his shoulders. And he will be called Wonderful Counselor, Mighty God, Everlasting Father, Prince of Peace.” Isaiah 9:6


This idea of God the Father or maybe better put this way, God as a father trips up a lot of people. I never had a good relationship with my earthly father, so the concept of God being a father to me was hard for me to grasp. My dad didn’t like me very much, he was never satisfied, nothing was never good enough. He was angry a lot……….. and was gone most of the time. He never spent much time with me growing up. I tried to earn his love or at lest his respect, but I finally got tried of trying to have a relationship with someone who didn’t want one with me.

I was so hungry for a Father I looked for other men who seemed like they understood what it meant to be a father and I tried to spend as much time as I could with them but, most of them had families  of their own, so I felt out of place….. a lot.

After I came to know Christ as my Savior I still had a hard time relating to God as my Father, It took awhile, but I figured it out. God is not mad at me and he loves me just how I am, but he doesn’t leave me that way because he is making me to be like Christ. He is patiently crafting me into a whole person repairing all of the cracks in my life. I am good enough, you are good enough. I don’t know what your experience is with your earthly father? If it was good, YOU are blessed and if you can, give dad a call and tell him how much you love him. If your story is kinda like mine this is some of what I know about our Heavenly Father, our Everlasting Father.

• He is Compassionate 

”The Lord is compassionate and gracious, slow to anger, abounding in love.’ Psalm103:8


“Come to me, all you who are weary and burdened, and I will give you rest. Take my yoke upon you and learn from me, for I am gentle and humble in heart, and you will find rest for you souls” Matthew 11:28-29

• He is Caring       

” For I know the plans I have for you, declares the Lord, plans to prosper you and not to harm you, plans to prosper you and not to harm you, plans to give you hope and a future.” Jeremiah 29:11

• He is always There 

”Never will leave you; never will forsake you” Hebrews 13:5  

 You need to get this, God Loves you. and thats the way I see it in my market.

• For to us a child is born, to us a son is given, ant the government will be on his shoulders. And he will be called Wonderful Counselor, Mighty God, Everlasting Father, Prince of Peace. Isaiah 9:6

Nothing is to Hard for God. What runs through your mind when you read a statement like that? Do you do you just nod your in agreement or do you find yourself saying sounds good, but?  when you are in the middle of a hard time or a difficult  situation maybe you find yourself saying “God where are YOU?” To live a life of faith  we can never let our circumstances or our feelings define the reality  of what is really happening. Scripture must always be our standard.  The prophet Jeremiah made this observation

 “Ah, Sovereign LORD, you have made the heaven and the earth by your great power and outstretch arm. Nothing is too hard for you.” Jeremiah 32:17


Here are something that you need to know-God is Omniscient-God is Omnipresent-God is Omnipotent.

• The power of God is working in you.

For God is working in you, giving you the desire and the power to do what pleases him. Philippians 2:13

He gives strength to the weary and increases the power of the weak. Even youths grow tired and weary, and young men stumble and fall; but those who hope in the LORD will renew their strength. Isaiah 40:29-31


The apostle Paul wrote about this in 2 Corinthians 12:9-10 maybe you could check this out for yourself.

• The Power of God is at work through you. 

But you will receive power when the Holy Spirit comes upon you. And you will be my witnesses, telling people about me everywhere–in Jerusalem, Throughout Judea, in Samaria, and to the ends of the earth. Acts 1:8


God is working  IN YOU, FOR YOU, AND THROUGH YOU.  and thats the way I see it in my market.
