I think sometimes people equate our Heavenly Father with treating us the way our earthly fathers treated us--because that is the only father relationship we have ever known. But the more I read about the character of God the more I realize how gentle and loving He is. In Psalm 56:8 it says He saves our tears in a bottle. WOW! He loves us so much that He not only knows how many tears we've cried, He saves them!! What an incredible love that is! How many parents can say they've saved their kids tears?? Teeth, yes, tears, nahhh.
I know a lot of people were abused, mistreated, abandoned by their fathers. Their fathers were critical and unloving. I remembered a tract I had read many years ago about the Father Heart of God. It gave me such insight into how our God really feels about us. So I'm posting the URL in case anyone is interested in reading it. It was very healing for me. And every time I start to forget how much God loves me, it helps to read it again.
It was written by Keith Green, who was a dynamic Christian singer and minister, who went home to be with the Lord after dying in a plane crash in the early 80s, along with 2 of his 3 small children. Anyway here's the URL

Love in Christ,

I mistakenly said that Keith Green was the author of "The Father Heart of God." His ministry (Last Days Ministries) published it, but he did not write it. The author was John Dawson. Sorry about that.

The website that this was on seems to have changed. So I'm posting the new URL. Hopefully this is the right one. If not, just google "The Father Heart of God". It's usually posted on Last Days Ministry website. God Bless you.
