I start every day with God and reading daily devotions from Our Daily Bread. Today’s devotion is titled “Not Fatherless.” Albert Lee wrote this devotion. The scripture reading is from Matthew 6:5–13 with the key verse, “The Spirit himself testifies with our spirit that we are God’s children.” Romans 8:16.
My beloved brothers, and sisters in Christ; before I write, I first pray to God to guide my words to serve as spiritual food and guidance. I desire God to be my sole source of writing. All the credit goes to God, not me. I am his humble servant. I thank God that He led me to use Our Daily Bread Ministries to inspire comments and witnessing.
When I was small, my dad left my family and me. For a long time, I thought I had no Dad. I live with my grandmother. One day in church, they sang the song “We Are Our Heavenly Father’s Children.” It was like God was singing to me. I loved the music. I knew that I did not have an earthly father, but I have a heavenly father who loved me. Our heavenly father is kind. He loves and cares for us and made us His children through Jesus.
Reflect & Pray:
Who do you know, anyone who feels they are fatherless? How can you help them to understand they have a heavenly father?
My Prayer for Us:
Dear heavenly Father, thank You for making us Your child and for being a Father that welcomes me into Your presence through prayer.
