The Love of the Father

What does it mean to love someone?

All of us have become like one who is unclean,and all our righteous acts are like filthy rags;we all shrivel up like a leaf,and like the wind our sins sweep us away:No one calls on your nameor strives to lay hold of you;for you have hidden your face from usand have given us over to our sins.Yet you, Lord, are our Father.we are the clay, you are the potter,we are all the work of your hand.Isaiah 64:6-8

We turn our backs on God. We stain ourselves with sin.

Yet he does not turn from us. He keeps on loving us.

As our Father he welcomes us. As our Saviour he cleanses us.

Praise the Lord!
