"The king was deeply moved and went up to the gate chamber and wept. As he walked, he cried, 'My son Absalom! My son, my son Absalom! If only I had died instead of you, Absalom, my son, my son!'"
2 Samuel 18:33
I hear the question often, and have even asked it myself in the past: "Why would God choose to save us, after we've been so horrible to Him?" The day I became a father, I understood the answer to that question. No matter what happens, I will always love him and desire the best for him. There is nothing that he, nor anybody else, can do to take my love from him.
Question of the Day:
We earthly fathers have this kind of love. How much greater must be the love of our Heavenly Father?
Prayer of the Day:
Lord, I bask in Your unfailing Love! I know that You have loved me, for how else could I be able to show such love to others? I thank You for raising me up in righteousness and disciplining me so that I might learn the joy of a mature and wholesome soul. Continue to lead me as Lord over my life, lifting me up when I need You, and guiding me through the narrow path. Help me to become a son worthy of Your unfailing Love. Amen!
