Father Can You Hear Me?

What in this world could possibly be more important than the relationship we have with our fathers? I’m talking here of our earthly fathers, but I am also referring to that most important relationship we must have with our heavenly Father. We can blame our lack of this important relationship on them; to tell the truth, haven’t we all done this before? Sure, they were too busy most of the time for us. We wished they hadn’t been. Still, we shared some responsibility for being close by not including them in what we were doing, especially, as we were growing up.  Didn’t we feel we needed our friends more back then? And so, after we left home, got married, had babies of our own, we were then too busy for our fathers. Sad, it is!

I don’t know, maybe your earthly father is still around, mine is not. He passed away several years ago. So many times in my life I wanted more quality time with my father.  Many times, in the past, I have thought about how in all those years I could have found more opportunities to be with my dad, to include him, and not wait for him to reach out to me. I have cried, of course I have. I cry now even as I share this with you.  I would like to tell him how much I have loved him, and still love him!  I can, now, even though it’s impossible to know the miles between here and heaven; this kind of love honors God, our heavenly Father, as it reaches my earthly father who is now in heaven with Him. This is my prayer to my earthly father. 

[“Oh dad, as you sit in heaven, I want to tell you I am sorry for all those opportunities we had but didn’t take to spend more time together. I know truly you wanted them just like I did, but for some stupid reason we didn’t take that precious time when we could have. There was a lot of my life I could have shared with you as there must have been more of yours you would have liked to share with me. Our relationship hasn’t ended though, no, no, this Godly Father you and I share will see to it that we will never be apart again. His Son Jesus saw to that for us over 2000 years ago. Thank you, Jesus.
Father, can you hear me? I believe you can and now have.”

your son,
Melton]

Friends, if your father is still alive, it’s not too late to forgive and forget any past differences or hurts Satan would like to perpetuate between you and your dad (or mother.) Take the responsibility now of being the one to repair your relationship with them. It’s true, love conquers all hurts!

I would like to share a video and some music from a DVD performed by Mike and the Mechanics in London. The song is; “The Living Years.” It is about this father/son or daughter relationship I feel is so important. I hope you enjoy it. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=z8mPS0-2Xq8&ob=av3n

You may also be blessed by reading this end-time prophesy about fathers and their children in the last book and chapter of the Old Testament:  Malachi 4:4-5.

I hope you will pass this message along to someone who may need to rebuild their relationship with their father.

Walk Of Faith

I wonder, do you think we miss God’s purpose for our lives because we are waiting to learn more of what God has planned for us? Truth is; God isn’t required to lay it all out for us. All He must do if He has a plan for our lives is to show us how and then enable us to do it. It seems when we don’t know all the particulars, life is too perplexing. We think, “ but I need to know just what God wants me to do.” Abram (later known as Abraham) probably had thoughts just like this. God asked Abram to go somewhere he wasn’t familiar with and he most likely thought of asking God, Lord, must I go somewhere I don’t know, can’t I just stay here in Haran? However, God’s plan for Abram was far greater than anything Abram could ever imagine. Our personal feelings, vision, and human reasoning will always get in the way of our walk of faith . God teaches us to have faith in Him by placing us in positions where our feelings, vision, and common knowledge don’t work for us. Haven’t you ex...

Over the past few years I have been inspired by the Holy Spirit to write what He has given me; many times I was awakened in the middle of the night to write them down. I hope you will take look at these brief messages which can be found in the "sidebar" of this blog under the heading of "BLOG ARCHIVE." There may be something in these that personally speaks to you. I pray there is. Thanks for reading my blog and may God richly bless you.

In Heaven

We will experience a sense of perfect joy There will also be perfect peace and fulfillment because of the divine presence of God. Our worship of the Father will be without distraction. Forever and ever we will concentrate our worship only on Him; our loving, caring God who is, and was, and forever will be our Creator and Sustainer. Never will we experience exhaustion as we serve and interact with Him on a very personal level. “And His servants shall serve Him” (Revelation 22:3). In Revelation it is revealed we will govern with Christ and rule over all that is brought under His dominion. “The kingdoms of this world have become the kingdoms of our Lord and of His Christ, and He shall rule forever and ever!” (Revelation 11:15). And it is written; “And they [his servants] shall reign forever and ever” (Revelation 22:5). Ours will be a perfect fellowship like that of the Father and the Son. “That they all may be one, as You, Father, are in Me, and I in You; that they may also be ...
