Ep 5: Heavenly Father vs Earthly Father and why it MATTERS how we view each!

Maybe you've heard the song, Good, Good Father by Chris Tomlin. If not, here's the lyrics.

Oh, I've heard a thousand stories of what they think You're like But I've heard the tender whisper of love in the dead of night And You tell me that You're pleased and that I'm never alone You're a good, good Father It's who You are, it's who You are, it's who You are And I'm loved by You It's who I am, it's who I am, it's who I am Oh, and I've seen many searching for answers far and wide But I know we're all searching for answers only You provide 'Cause You know just what we need before we say a word You're a good, good Father It's who You are, it's who You are, it's who You are And I'm loved by You It's who I am, it's who I am, it's who I am Because You are perfect in all of Your ways You are perfect in all of Your ways You are perfect in all of Your ways to us You are perfect in all of Your ways Oh, You're perfect in all of Your ways You are perfect in all of Your ways to us Oh, it's love so undeniable I, I can hardly speak Peace so unexplainable I, I can hardly think As You call me deeper still As You call me deeper still As You call me deeper still into love, love, love You're a good, good Father It's who You are, it's who You are, it's who You are And I'm loved by You It's who I am, it's who I am, it's who I am You're a good, good Father It's who You are, it's who You are, it's who You are And I'm loved by You It's who I am, it's who I am, it's who I am You're a good, good Father It's who You are, it's who You are, it's who You are And I'm loved by You It's who I am, it's who I am, it's who I am (You're a good, good Father) You are perfect in all of Your ways (it's who You are, it's who You are, it's who You are) (And I'm loved by You) You are perfect in all of Your ways (it's who I am, it's who I am, it's who I am)

 

I love that song!!! 

 

But let's be honest, not all EARTHLY Fathers are good ones! No, this IS NOT a bashing podcast, I promise! 

 

Thankfully, our Heavenly Father is perfect.  His love is perfect. And He completely loves us perfectly. But if we get the lines crossed and see our Heavenly Father the way some earthly fathers are, it messes us up! He's not human so He doesn't love us as humans sometimes do. His love is unconditional and unmatchable. He loves us at our darkest as well as at our heights in life. Our view of Him directly affects how we live day to day. 

 

My prayer is that we see God as the loving, reliable, gracious, forgiving and merciful Heavenly Father that He is!
