A Fathers Love.............

How far does a father's love stretch?  

Is your father's love conditional or unconditional?

What do you know will push father to the realms of unforgiving?

The film 'Father of the Bride' sees a Dad so devoted to his daughter he will try and do anything to keep hold of her, to stop her growing up.  He tries anything to make sure he doesn't have to giver her away to another man.  Then when he knows he has to let go you see his heart break - lovingly break within the church as she is getting married - but break nonetheless.  You see that a phone call of reassurance and love makes him realise that his daughter will forever be his, she will always be his little girl.

John Q is an amazing film that shows the true lengths a dad will go to for his child.  Knowing he cant pay for his child's life-saving surgery he takes the hospital hostage in a bid to save his son.  A father's love that is unconditionally and powerful.  A man that will go to any lengths including criminal activity to ensure his son lives.

But these are fictional.....

What about an amazing Father - who sends His son to die.  Who watches His son die.  Who leaves His son to die.  So He can save His other children......

A love that is non-judgmental, all forgiving, all powerful, forever comforting, non-expiring, unrelenting, all consuming, tender, devoting.....

What an amazing, unconditional, indescribable love......

That's our heavenly father's love.....

Lord You're Holy.......

I have been reflecting in many things this week and a real song of meditation and amazing worship for me has been Karen Wheaton "Lord You're Holy" . I was introduced to it at Kingdom Faith by Jane Urquhart at an amazing women's conference I attended there. The Lyrics are just awesome which is why I wanted to share them with you. Lord You’re holy, Lord You’re holy and we lift You up and magnify Your name I look around and I see, All the works Your hands have made, The awesomeness of You, And how Your love will never fade, Mere words cannot express what I feel inside, I can’t describe Your glory divine, But as a token of my love, This is what I’ll do, I lift my hands and cry, Lord You’re holy, Lord You’re holy and we lift You up and magnify Your name There’s not enough words that I can say, To tell You how much, I appreciate, all the wonderful things, You’ve given me, Your love and kindness, Your tender mercies, It’s my desire, to praise You and to tell You how much,...

Channel Four.......

This evening I watched a programme called 'The Virgin Daughters" on channel four.  It was all about purity and sex before marriage. I have to be truthful it totally freaked me.   I really believe that marriage is sacred and an act that shouldn't be taken into lightly, I also whole- heartedly  believe that you should save yourself for marriage. Saving yourself however I don't believe means you cant hold hands or kiss.  God isn't going to be upset with you because you kissed a boy at the age of 15, you aren't going to be unclean for holding someone of the opposites sex hand.  It makes me think what impression are we giving to younger non-Christians, 'if you become a Christian you cant hold you boyfriend/girlfriends hand until you're married'; that is insane and frankly I don't think 98% of young people will buy into. Also no offense to my Dad, however I don't want him to pick my future husband.  If my previous boyfriends asked my Dads permissi...
