The Father Whose Love Was Yours Before You Were Anyone’s Child

What Kind of Father He Is

Scripture reveals a Father whose love does not begin when His child performs well and does not end when His child fails. The cry Abba, Father is not a prize earned. It is a name the Spirit places into the mouth of the adopted child because the Father has already named him mine.

This is the Father who, while the prodigal was still a long way off, ran. The son had a confession rehearsed. The Father had a robe ready. The decisive movement in the story is not the son’s walk back. It is the Father’s run forward.

How Far His Fatherly Love Reaches

His Fatherly love reaches further than any human father can — and further than any human father has failed. Scripture promises that when father and mother forsake, the LORD takes in. He is Father to the fatherless. His love is the Source every faithful human father was reflecting in the first place.

Every family that has ever been named was named from this Father.

If I really believed God’s love is the love of a Father who already ran toward me before I ever turned home — how would that change what I am feeling today, and what I am believing about God, myself, and the people I lead?

God is not a better version of your father. He is the Father every father was meant to image.

Isn’t He amazing? How great is He?
