3:31 – Yell At Me, I Still Love You.

#faithbites #faithjourney yell

Tonight, was a rough one for my youngest. Yelling at me, calling me the worst dad, throwing things, hitting me, and just talking back. It was bad, but throughout, I wouldnt yell at her, I wouldn’t turn my back, and I told her, I loved her. She tried to say she was sorry to get her tablet back, when I said no because of behavior, it started again. Throughout out, I just showed love.

Our God is like that. No matter how many times we blame him, yell at him, hate him, our turn our backs on him, He still loves us. He still wants us and he will still forgive us. That is how awesome he is.

Scripture

• as far as the east is from the west, so far has he removed our transgressions from us. – Psalm 103:12
• For I am sure that neither death nor life, nor angels nor rulers, nor things present nor things to come, nor powers, nor height nor depth, nor anything else in all creation, will be able to separate us from the love of God in Christ Jesus our Lord. – Romans 8-38-39

Reflection

Our father loves us always. No matter what we do, no matter what we say, he will welcome us back with open arms just like the prodigal son.

That doesn’t mean that we shouldn’t follow his laws or that we should keep sinning. It means, that if we reprent and seek forgiveness he sill grant it. He is always there with open arms.

When I started writing this today, my youngest was not behaving. Since then, she’s asked forgiveness, we’ve cuddled and all is right. She still has her consequences for her behaviors, but my love has never, no never will, change.

Challenge

Do you think your father is mad at you or doesnt love you? He loves you and wants you to call (prayer). Take this opportunity to comw home.

Prayer

Lord, so many times we sin. So many times we do exactly the opposite of what you want us to do. We know you love us no matter what. Help us yo come back to you and know that you will forgive us and you love us alwaya. In your name, Amen.
