Got Love?

1. We have _________________________.

Psalms 27:10 10 When my father and my mother forsake me, Then the LORD will take care of me.

Psalms 68:5-6 5 A father of the fatherless, a defender of widows,Is God in His holy habitation. 6 God sets the solitary in families…

Isa. 64:8 But now, O Lord, You are our Father; We are the clay, and You our potter; And all we are the work of Your hand.

Whether or not we had an earthly father that was seeking us and seeking our spiritual well-being, we do have a Heavenly Father who loves us.

Eph. 3:14-19 (New Century Version) 14 So I bow in prayer before the Father 15 from whom every family in heaven and on earth gets its true name. 16 I ask the Father in his great glory to give you the power to be strong inwardly through his Spirit. 17 I pray that Christ will live in your hearts by faith and that your life will be strong in love and be built on love. 18 And I pray that you and all God’s holy people will have the power to understand the greatness of Christ’s love—how wide and how long and how high and how deep that love is. 19 Christ’s love is greater than anyone can ever know, but I pray that you will be able to know that love. Then you can be filled with the fullness of God.

2. Paul’s Heart & Purpose revealed in one verse. __________________________

Gal. 4:19 My little children, for whom I labor in birth again until Christ is formed in you,

How many times does the Father’s love reach out to us. How many times does He call our name?

1 Cor. 15:57-58

57 But thanks be to God, who gives us the victory through our Lord Jesus Christ. 58 Therefore, my beloved brethren, be steadfast, immovable, always abounding in the work of the Lord, knowing that your labor is not in vain in the Lord.
