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

The Daily CHEW™ 
Moving God’s Love From Head to Heart for Christian Professionals


The Father ran first. The son rehearsed his confession. The Father had the robe ready. The son walked back. The Father ran forward.

This is who He is. He does not start with performance. He does not stop with failure. He has named the child mine.

C – Clarity: What God Has Revealed

Scripture reveals a Father whose love holds. The cry Abba, Father is not earned. The Spirit places it in the mouth. He has named the adopted child mine.

H – Hear: How God’s Love Shines Here

His Fatherly love reaches further than any human father can. Further than any father has failed. When father and mother forsake, the LORD takes in (Psalm 27:10).

Every family ever named was named from this Father. He is the Source every faithful father reflects.

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

Abba ran first.

“Abba ran first.”

E – Exchange: Receive His Love Here

Sit with the Father who ran first. He did not wait for the rehearsed speech. He absorbed the distance Himself.

When you really believed God’s love is the love of a Father who already ran toward you before you ever turned home, how would that change what you are feeling today, and what you are believing about God, yourself, and the people you lead?

W – Walk: Worship Response

Behold Him.

He ran first.

He runs still.

Isn’t He amazing? How great is He?
