Do you walk through seasons of life where a
particular song just stirs your heart every time you hear it?
Whether it’s at church…in the car…in your home…wherever
you are…when that song comes on…you just want to stop…and let the words penetrate
your heart…minister to your spirit!
I feel that way about Chris Tomlin’s “Good Good Father” song right now…especially
when I hear the chorus, which says…
You're a Good, Good
Father
It's who you are, it's who you are, it's who you are
It's who you are, it's who you are, it's who you are
I
love the simplicity of these words!
You’re a Good, Good Father…that is exactly who God
is to us!
A
Heavenly Father…a father that loves us more than we can even imagine!
James
1:17 states…Every good and perfect gift
is from above, coming down from the Father of the heavenly lights!
God
desires to shower us with good gifts!
He
sent his one and only son…Jesus to die on the cross for our sins so that we may
have eternal life.
He
sent the Holy Spirit to be with us and in us!
He
gives wisdom to those to ask! He gives
us all that we need and so much more!
The
chorus continues with the following words…
And I'm loved by you
It's who I am, it's who I am, it's who I am
It's who I am, it's who I am, it's who I am
Those
words are for me…for you…for every single person who will receive them!
That’s
who we are!
Children
who are loved by God!!
1
John 4:8 states…God is love…and He
loves us!!
Doesn’t
that want to make you leap and dance for joy!!
The
second verse of the song continues with…
Oh, and I've seen many
searching for answers far and wide
But I know we're all searching
For answers only you provide
Cause you know just what we need
Before we say a word
But I know we're all searching
For answers only you provide
Cause you know just what we need
Before we say a word
We live in a hurting
world…a world filled with lost souls…a world full of despair right now…and many
might even say…a world without hope!
But the things so many
are searching for…the things that we are trying to fill the voids in our life
with…are not things of this world!
Instead, we should be
turning to a loving Father…a good, good Father…
God already knows us…He
knows what we need before we even ask!!
The song continues to
accurately describe our Heavenly Father…
You are perfect in all of
your ways
You are perfect in all of your ways
You are perfect in all of your ways to us
You are perfect in all of your ways
You are perfect in all of your ways to us
I don’t know about you…but
this is the One that I want to place my hope…my trust…my faith in!
One who is perfect in all
His ways!
And words that express my
heart…my love for my Father…
Oh, it's love so
undeniable
I, I can hardly speak
Peace so unexplainable
I, I can hardly think
As you call me deeper still
Into love, love, love
I, I can hardly speak
Peace so unexplainable
I, I can hardly think
As you call me deeper still
Into love, love, love
Though I desire to share
God’s love with each and every person I meet…there are times I can hardly speak
of His great love…it’s so amazing!
I don’t always have the
words to describe his great love for us!
But I do know that is
real…and it gives me peace that is truly unexplainable!
So if you are searching…if
you are looking for a love that is undeniable…turn to the One who loves you and
desires the very best for you!
I promise you that He is
faithful…and He is a good, good Father!
Dear Heavenly Father…thank
you for being a good, good Father to us!
Thank you for loving us! Thank
you for sending your son to us! All I
can do is praise your Holy, Holy name!

Father"

Oh, I've heard a thousand
stories of what they think you're like
But I've heard the tender whisper of love in the dead of night
And you tell me that you're pleased
And that I'm never alone

It's who you are, it's who you are, it's who you are
And I'm loved by you
It's who I am, it's who I am, it's who I am
