The Father’s Love
See what an incredible quality of love the Father has shown to us, that we would [be permitted to] be named and called and counted the children of God! And so we are! For this reason the world does not know us, because it did not know Him. (1 John 3:1, AMP)
Bible Reading: Luke 15:3-7
The Father’s love is real, patient, enduring, present, alive and eternal. Our heavenly Father is love and loving. God is love and the gospel is the good news of love. The Bible is a book of love from God to his creation. God’s love made Him send his only begotten Son, Jesus Christ to die for our iniquity (John 3:16). God’s love made Him give us the Holy Spirit to abide in us and be upon us for empowerment. Today’s Bible reading reminds us of the love of the Father to leave the ninety-nine sheep in order to look for the lost one. You and I are the lost ones. 
Earthly fathers show love to their children by taking care of them. They work day and night to provide for them and make them comfortable. Jesus puts it thus: “who is there among you, who, if his son. asks him for bread, will give him a stone?” (Matthew 7:9). As the world celebrates the season of love, it is important for the world to know that God shows us love through His son Jesus and are now joint heirs with Christ (Romans 8:16-17). 
Daily Confession: Thank God for your love. I receive Jesus Christ who is your gift of love unto humanity.
Intercessory prayer: Prayer for God’s intervention in the following nations: Nigeria, Turkey, Syria, and New Zealand.
Hymn: O God of love, O King of peace,
Make wars throughout the world to cease;
The wrath of sinful man restrain;
Give peace, O God, give peace again!
