TITLE: Call Him Father
\n<\/strong><\/h2>\n

Scripture: Isaiah 64:8; Mt.6:9
\n<\/strong><\/h2>\n

 <\/p>\n

I.\u00a0\u00a0 A PATIENT FATHER \u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0<\/strong><\/h4>\n

Our heavenly Father is extremely (patient<\/strong><\/span>), not just because He is a good parent, but because He wants us to (come to our senses<\/strong><\/span>). He isn\u2019t waiting for us to mess up so He can (punish us<\/strong><\/span>); He waits so we can experience His (forgiveness<\/strong><\/span>).<\/p>\n

\n

\u201cBut I received mercy for this reason, that in me, the foremost of sinners, Jesus Christ might display his perfect patience as an example to those who were to believe in him for eternal life.\u201d I Tim.1:16<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

II.\u00a0 A FORGIVING FATHER \u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0<\/strong><\/h4>\n

When we talk about God, (patience and forgiveness<\/strong><\/span>) go together.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

\u201cIn Him we have redemption through his blood, the forgiveness of our trespasses, according to the riches of his grace, which he lavished upon us, in all wisdom and insight.\u201d Eph.1:7<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

III. A PROUD FATHER<\/strong><\/h4>\n

God isn\u2019t just proud of you! He is (crazy about you<\/strong><\/span>)!\u00a0 He loves you whether you excel or don\u2019t excel. He loves you whether you are the top athlete or not. Top musician or not. His love and pride for you and acceptance for you is not determined by anything you do or don\u2019t do.<\/p>\n
