1 My soul, bless the Lord,
and all that is within me, bless his holy name.
2 My soul, bless the Lord,
and do not forget all his benefits.
3 He forgives all your iniquity;
he heals all your diseases.
4 He redeems your life from the Pit;
he crowns you with faithful love and compassion.
5 He satisfies you with good things;
your youth is renewed like the eagle.
6 The Lord executes acts of righteousness
and justice for all the oppressed.
7 He revealed his ways to Moses,
his deeds to the people of Israel.
8 The Lord is compassionate and gracious,
slow to anger and abounding in faithful love.
9 He will not always accuse us
or be angry forever.
10 He has not dealt with us as our sins deserve
or repaid us according to our iniquities.
11 For as high as the heavens are above the earth,
so great is his faithful love
toward those who fear him.
12 As far as the east is from the west,
so far has he removed
our transgressions from us.
13 As a father has compassion on his children,
so the Lord has compassion on those who fear him.
14 For he knows what we are made of,
remembering that we are dust.
Psalm 103:1-:14 CSB
We know Father’s Day can stir up a wide range of emotions. Joy and gratitude for some. Grief and disappointment for others.
We also know that God cares for all our emotions and experiences and is faithful to meet us wherever we are today.
And, we know that God is the Good Father we’ve always needed. His compassion never fails. His love never ends. His forgiveness is boundless. His goodness and grace are more than we could think, ask, or deserve.
May we spend time today meditating on the character of our Heavenly Father, remembering His benefits, and blessing Him with all our souls.
Given that celebrate Father’s Day today in the US, the Good Father leaps off the page. Yet it’s more all the nevers & always that really stand out. Every positive attribute is AlWAYS. And every negative is NEVER. What an awesome Abba Father, Daddy we have! Blessings (((0)))
His compassion and how He cares about the smallest detail
The one that pops put to me is “God is the good father we always needed. ” His love never ends. His forgiveness is boundless. ” This was a beautiful one to give us on Father’s Day. My father was my best friend and left the Earth so young at 58 years old. I still grieve at times, but I know he was my physical father, but I also have my other Father whom I love with all my heart and soul and I know He loves me and my Daddy is with him in heaven. Again, thank you (in)courage group for always remembering us every day and especially on these special days that have really good memories, but also sometimes we also grieve a bit on these days.
All of you at (in) courage, I pray that you have a Blessed Day and have wonderful memories, as well………Betsy Basile
Great is thy faithness. So true are God is so faithful. He is our best Father. Our best friend. He is there for us no matter what. All we have to do go him in prayer with our problems and wait for him to answer through his Holy Spirit. Telling us what to do. We might have to wait for God will answer us as might not answer right away. Why that is because he testing us to see how strong our faith is in him. Do we really trust him to help us with the problem we have that we have asked him to help us with. Some people have good earthly Fathers other don’t. They wonder why their earthly Father is not a Father to them. But no matter what. If your earthly Father was not the Father he should have been. No matter how hard it is for you to do this you have. Ask God in prayer to help you be able to do it. You have to do what is right in God’s eyes. Forgive your earthly. As it says in Ephesians 4 verse 32. “And be kind to one another tenderhearted, forgiving one another, even as God in Christ forgave you” how true that is. We have to do that even if our earthly Father was not the Father he should have been to you. I done that with my elderly Dad now 83. Forgiven him. Told him I Forgive you and I love you. Because if I not done that. I told him I not be doing his Home Help Monday to Friday for him. That I do for the Love of the Lord and the Love of my Father. I told him I love him also and am praying for him. As my Dad is not saved. I want nothing from him when his time up on earth. All I want from my Dad to know he is saved. Before he leaves this earth. That is my best prayer I pray for my Dad. I go to do his Home Help Monday to Friday. I don’t let anything that happened in the past come up in my heart. To make me angry that I don’t want to be doing his Home Help. Or when I look at him be Angry inside. I just go do his Home Help for him in Love for my Dad. It doesn’t even enter my head any thing that happened in the past. I love to help my elderly Dad by doing his Home Help on to as I said the Love of the Lord and the Love of my Dad. Doing what Ephesians 4 verse 32 says. God has given me the ability to do that and helped me put all the past behind me and keep loving my Dad no matter what. As my elderly Dad helped give me life on this earth. Without his part in it I would not be hear today. So I do everything for my Dad in Love. Plus I thank my heavenly Father for helping me do that. So Grate is God’s Faithfulness. As this song and what it says. I know it is said to be a kids song. But that helps me at times the words of it. I believe it not just for kids but I’d Adults as well. It is “Our God is a great big God” so our God is a great big God. You get the song on YouTube. Even though it classed as kids song. It good for us as Adults to listen to it as well. The words so true in it as Our God is a great big God. He is a Father that will never let you down. He is always there for you and ready to listen to your prayers. Plus Love us no matter what.

“The Lord is compassionate and gracious,
slow to anger and abounding in faithful love.”
When I was 10 I fell in love with God and was so unbelievably happy that Jesus died. For. Me!! It made all the pain and sorrow in my life bearable. Thank you heavenly Father for this great gift! ❤️
Today and always, I knew that God is a merciful Father. All of His other attributes- first is holy, loving, just, jealous, righteous, kind and good. He is our redeemer, patient, compassionate and will judge us accordingly, if He found faith in the Son Jesus, who died for us. His mercy never ends they are new every morning. Great is His faithfulness. It please the Father to provide for His children.
In Courage,
My verse for today is Zephaniah 3:17 The Lord your God is with you, the Mighty Warrior who saves.
He will take great delight in you; In his love he will no longer rebuke you, but will rejoice over you with singing.” I am awestruck that the God of universe delights in me & rejoices over me. Some times I don’t feel I deserve such love. He gives it anyway.
Blessings 🙂
