When your child first held your finger in their tiny hand, did it fill you with wonder? That's just a glimpse of how your Heavenly Father feels about you.
This Father's Day, we explored the incredible truth that God is the perfect Father we've all been searching for. Whether your earthly dad was amazing or absent, God runs toward you with open arms. Like the father in Luke 15 who ran to his prodigal son, God pursues you with relentless love. He doesn't wait for you to clean up first—He embraces you right where you are.
You are God's child. Not because of what you do, but because of whose you are. He affirms you, forgives you, and never leaves you. If we confess our sins, He is faithful and just to forgive us (1 John 1:9). The celebration in heaven starts the moment you turn your heart toward Him.
Come close to your Heavenly Father. He's already running toward you.
