Pen 4 The Lord

Seeds of Strength Hope & Encouragement

Welcome to another Five Minute Friday. If you’ve been here before, you know the routine. If you’re new, it’s simple; we are given a prompt word and then for five minutes we write on that word. This week it’s LOVED.

 

Do you know the Love of the Father?

Do you know how He cares for you?

Do you know that whatever you’re facing

He’s the one to carry you through?

 

Have you wandered far from His presence

And you think there’s no way to turn back.

Has the enemy tried to condemn you

And blast you with another attack?

 

Well I’m here within these five minutes

To pen the most important words you’ll hear.

So lend me now just a second

As I whisper this message in your ear.

 

“You are so LOVED by the Father

He’s always kept you in His heart.

So let today be a brand new beginning

On the road to a brand new start.

 

Allow the Father to embrace you

As you leave all your past hurts behind.

And shower you with His love and forgiveness

That you’ve searched forever to find.

 

Then walk on in his love and His mercy

Once you experience His amazing grace.

Cleansed by the blood of Jesus

With all wrongs and regrets erased!

 

Then thank Him for all that He’s given

A love that will never compare.

As you take this secret, you’ve learned

To everyone — everyplace –everywhere!”

 

Humility brings repentance — repentance brings forgiveness.

With Forgiveness: YOU ARE LOVED!

 

 “For God so LOVED the world that he gave his one and only Son, that whoever believes in him shall not perish but have eternal life.” John 3:16 NIV

 

Have a great week and always remember, YOU ARE LOVED!
