Dad Wisdom Quotes

“depressed like you ruined everything God had planned for you? This is not the end!
Just like the artists who spent consistent time with their creations in order for them to become masterpieces, we get this opportunity with God. He is eager to continue molding, shaping, and creating us to become the masterpieces he had in mind from the beginning. Even though he is eager, we must decide to meet with him to let him do his work. Spending consistent time with the Lord is the way to let him continue his work with us.”

“This is the love of the perfect Father. Patiently and with kindness, he draws near. When he is with us, there is no jealousy, and he is not boasting of his greatness. He carries himself with honor, and we can sense his humility. Keeping a calm composure through all we do, he does not demand his way of us. Much more, he does not keep score of what we have done against him. Burdened by injustice, he presses hard for the truth and rejoices greatly for it! Most importantly, our heavenly Father never ever gives up on us, no matter the cost to him. His hope for us is unmatched; he knows us; he created us in our mothers’ wombs in the secret place (Psalm 139). Even to the point of enduring the cross, in every circumstance, his choice to love us cannot be stopped. Relentlessly pursuing our souls, God embodies grace fueled by love. Love is the power to unleash grace!”
