The Father’s Heart is to Love His Child
John 3:16-17
- “‘For God so loved the world that He gave His only begotten Son, that whoever believes in Him should not perish but have everlasting life. For God did not send His Son into the world to condemn the world, but that the world through Him might be saved.’”
1 John 3:1-2
- “Behold what manner of love the Father has bestowed on us, that we should be called children of God! … Beloved, now we are children of God; and it has not yet been revealed what we shall be, but we know that when He is revealed, we shall be like Him, for we shall see Him as He is.”
1 John 4:18
- “There is no fear in love; but perfect love casts out fear, because fear involves torment. But he who fears has not been made perfect in love.”
Romans 5:8
- “But God demonstrates His own love toward us, in that while we were still sinners, Christ died for us.”
In other words, the Lord is saying…
“I want you to know that My voice does not condemn. It saves. I love you so much that I died so that you may have life—not just temporal life, but eternal, spiritual, above-all-you-can-imagine kind of life. I cover you with My perfect love. I long to honor you because you are Mine. I reveal Myself to you when you seek Me because in Me you will find perfect love. There is no room for fear because My love is overwhelming. I do not see your mistakes, failures, and shame because the power of My redeeming blood has covered you completely. My child, I love you.”
The Father’s heart is that you know His perfect love, which casts out fear. When you seek Him with your heart, He reveals His. This is covenant love!
The Father’s Heart is for His Son and Daughters…

And this robe of righteousness I have placed upon your shoulders is everlasting. When you dedicate your steps to Me, I will give you peace. I give you quiet assurance every step of the way. I long for you to receive my gift of shalom because you are My child. I love to bless My children with peace beyond measure.”

It is My strength that you have available to you—a strength that overcomes, a strength that endures, a strength that is righteous and pure. I am with you. Look to Me alone for your strength because no other kind can get you to where I am taking you. You are My child. You have access to My strength because I love you.”

“In the midst of your enemies, I have only good plans for you. You are anointed, and I am pouring My abundant love upon you, filling you completely. I only give good gifts because I only want what is best for you. My grace is sufficient for you. It abounds towards you. You will never lack when you come into My presence. My presence is where abundance resides. I do nothing in lack, but always in an outpouring of My Spirit. This is My character. You are My child, and I am shaping you into My image. I release abundant blessings upon you today because I love you.”
The Father’s heart is to give. The Father longs to see you abide in His presence. He has a table there for you, inviting you always because He loves you.
The Father’s Heart is to Give His Child Identity and Purpose
Ephesians 1 declares your identity. It speaks of your Kingdom purpose–predestined and unique to you. Your Father in Heaven is rich in glory, and He desires for you to understand the inheritance you have in Christ as His child.
The Father’s heart is for you to know your inheritance through Yeshua…
- Blessed with every spiritual blessing in the heavenly places
- Chosen before the foundation of the world
- Predestined as a son or daughter
- Accepted by His grace
- Redeemed through His blood
- Forgiven of sins
- Abounded in wisdom and prudence
- Made known the mystery of His will
- Predestined for a purpose
- Trusted the Word of truth
- Sealed with the Holy Spirit of promise
In other words, the Lord is saying…
“I do not look at you with shaming eyes but with eyes that see your beauty, strength, and purpose. I see you not as who you were, but who I am shaping you to become. I see you through Christ’s blood. I see you as My child. I see you enjoying every heavenly blessing. My child, I have planned out every moment of your life. Those moments are written in the heavenly books. I want those heavenly words to be manifested on Earth through you. I long to see My children gathered together as One New Man in Me. I am reconciling the world to myself, and I invite you to be a part of this Kingdom purpose. Child, you do not know the strength you have in Me, but I do. Receive My identity, purpose, strength, and love today. I am releasing it from Heaven above.”
The Father’s heart is that you lean on His identity, the one He gave you the moment you trusted in Him and became a new creation. He wants to know that your past, failures, success, and circumstances do not define you. He has a future of hope written for you. Allow Him to write these words on your heart today.
The Father’s heart is full of love. It is a deep well that never runs dry.
A Prayer to the Father

“Father God, I am overwhelmed by your amazing love. In Yeshua’s name, I believe and declare that You are the King of the universe and I am Your holy daughter [or son]. I have been made alive by your covenant love. You empower me by Your Spirit to walk in confidence. I know that I have access to every heavenly blessing You have for me. Father, I receive the peace, strength, abundance, identity, purpose, and love you have for me today.
“In Yeshua’s name, amen.”
