This reveals an important truth: God’s blessings are not meant to stop with us. They are meant to flow through us.

God is active in this world even in the best of time and in the worst of time. God loves this world, and He calls for action. “All things work together for the good of those who love the Lord, who are called according to God’s purposes.

Love never fails. But where there are prophecies, they will cease; where there are tongues, they will be stilled; where there is knowledge, it will pass away. …And now these three remain faith, hope and love. But the greatest of these is love.

As Father’s Day approaches, we prepare opur hearts to celebrate and challenge our earthly fathers to reflect the character of our Heavenly Father. This means being filled with compassion, strength, faithfulness, and love. Whether our earthly experience was good, painful or absent, we all can find wholeness and hope in the perfect love of God, our Heavenly Father.
