February 13
God is our Heavenly Father and our Great King. We are blessed to be part of the family of God because Jesus extended that privilege to everyone who would embrace Him as Savior and Lord (John 1:12). Because He loves us, He extends His care to us. The full force of His omnipotence is available to His child at the point of need.
We are told that we may ask anything in the name of Jesus and it shall be done (John 14:13). It is the Father’s good pleasure to honor the Son, and glory to our Triune God is lifted up when we pray in the name that is above all names (Philippians 2:9).
Yet, beyond what He is willing to do for us at the point of our need is the desire He has that we be His hand extended, that we be His heart of love manifested among the lost and dying generation that dwells in spiritual darkness around us. He has allowed us to be bearers of the Light of Jesus and He wants us to shine that glorious Light into the dark abyss of spiritual error; to dispel hatred with the power of His love.
Our Father God and King loves the lost. It is His desire that they be found in Christ. He wants the hatred that burns in their bosom to be transformed by the Light and Love they see in His children. In Matthew 25:40 He tells us this truth, “…whatever you did for the least of these … you did for Me.” May we do all for Him that His heart yearns for us to do, so all men may be His beloved children.
