Day One - God's Abba Love
Psalm 103:8-18 (NLT) - "The LORD is compassionate and merciful, slow to get angry and filled with unfailing love. He will not constantly accuse us, nor remain angry forever. He does not punish us for all our sins; he does not deal harshly with us, as we deserve. For his unfailing love toward those who fear him is as great as the height of the heavens above the earth. He has removed our sins as far from us as the east is from the west. The LORD is like a father to his children, tender and compassionate to those who fear him. For he knows how weak we are; he remembers we are only dust. Our days on earth are like grass; like wildflowers, we bloom and die. The wind blows, and we are gone - as though we had never been here. But the love of the LORD remains forever with those who fear him. His salvation extends to the children's children of those who are faithful to his covenant, of those who obey his commandments!"
God's Father love is so amazing and at times too grand to even fathom. Imagine a love that is caring, care-full (because he knows that we are weak) and unfailing. It's a love that is larger and more powerful than any other love - this is the God's Abba love that is extended to those who fear him.
Responding to the Transmitted Message: Today, may we remember what the Lord has done for us out of this great love. He has brought us into a wonderful, intimate relationship with Him as our Father. In this relationship, we experience His compassion when we ache, His mercy when we sin, His patience when we falter, His tenderness as we live each day. Let's thank the Lord for who He is and how He is toward us.
