Hallelujah Sunday No 6. - A Father's Love

Today I'm celebrating my FATHER who is the kindest and strongest man I know. His love is worth celebrating because it has encircled me though every season of my life. He was quite young when I was born but somehow through God's unending grace my father's love is the ROCK that our family was built upon. 

At times it was his prayers that I pleaded with God to answer knowing that his faith was stronger than mine. Through the years his shoulders have borne both the deepest sorrows and the greatest joys that are all part of the blessed life that we journey through. 

I am so thankful for the Spirit of Christ that lives and abides within his heart and for the example of mercy and grace which he demonstrates EVERY day to those who love him. Happy Father's Day DADDY!

Ephesians 2:4-10
But God, who is rich in mercy, because of His great love with which He loved us, 5 even when we were dead in trespasses, made us alive together with Christ (by grace you have been saved), 6 and raised us up together, and made us sit together in the heavenly places in Christ Jesus, 7 that in the ages to come He might show the exceeding riches of His grace in His kindness toward us in Christ Jesus. 8 For by grace you have been saved through faith, and that not of yourselves; it is the gift of God, 9 not of works, lest anyone should boast. 10 For we are His workmanship, created in Christ Jesus for good works, which God prepared beforehand that we should walk in them.
