A Determinded Father

The Heavenly Father loves is children so much that sometimes He has to bust down the door, or punch a hole in a wall to reach in and help them, whether it is a person or a nation. When you see tragedies like we have seen in the news, know this for certain that God this is doing exactly that. He trying to help them, to get their attention and that He really does cares. 


In order to rescue them the Father often resorts to what seem like desperate or drastic measures, or even catastrophic measures to break peoples mindset. God's willing to do that not because he hates them, but because He loves them. No matter what the cost is to see that His people are free and come to know Him. He hates to discipline, just as any parent should, but He also knows that it often necessary for their own good and for the generations to come. Often, order to restore something you have to start all over again. But this time it will be better than before. God always left a remnant in order to help accomplish that. We must not hold any bitterness toward God, but be grateful for His mercy. In very situation I've see it could of been far worse. We are all prodigal sons that need to return home to the Heavenly Father.

God's bring down the walls that stands between Him and His children. Whether it their pride, greed or their idols. The Fathers does this through the words of His prophets in order to bring restoration to the world and the Body of Christ. No matter what the cost, whether it is sacrificing His own Son Jesus, or the lives of a thousands of people. (Jesus prophesied His own death.) God will do whatever is necessary, because He sees the bigger picture, where man tends to focus only on the suffering and loss. The Father wants to see that person or nation fully restored for future generations. God is reaching out to them too even though we may not understand this now. 

Things may look like an impossible mess or hopeless situation, but it's not. In the long run peoples lives and their nation will be better off than they could have ever imagined. Beauty will come out of these devastation and God will be glorified.

God is shaking the heavens and the earth. So that everyone knows everything belongs to Him. Man can not count on anything, but the love, grace and mercy of God. Any other security man has can be quickly taken away in just minutes. People need to know Him and that He is a loving Father. There will be a time of weeping, but joy will come in the morning. That will take time, but it will be worth it all. 


Note: Jesus is interceding for all His children, sons and daughters, even the one that are hurting, and suffering or feel forsaken. His Father is watching, listening and He is acting. And in His own time and way, He will restore all things.
