Happy Father's Day!

To my 3 earthly fathers...

I bow my knees before the Father, from whom every family in heaven and on earth is named, that according to the riches of his glory he may grant you
to be strengthend with power through his Spirit in your inner being,
so that Christ may dwell in your hearts through faith...
may you have the strength to comprehend with all the saints what is the breadth and length and height and depth,
and to know the love of Christ that surpasses knowledge,
that you may be filled with all the fullness of God.
Eph.3:14-21

I Love You!

And to my Heavenly Father...
The Valley of Vision is a book that contains a collection of Puritan prayers and devotions. Today, I dedicate God All-Sufficient to my heavenly Father...

GOD ALL-SUFFICIENT

KING OF GLORY, DIVINE MAJESTY,
Every perfection adorns thy nature and sustains thy throne;
The heavens and earth are thine,
The world is thine and its fullnesss.
Thy power created the universe from nothing;
Thy wisdom has managed all its multiple concerns,
presiding over nations, families, individiuals.
Thy goodness is boundless;
all creatures wait on the
are supplied by thee,
are satisfied in thee.
How precious are the thoughts of thy mercy and grace!
How excellent thy lovingkindness that draws men to thee!

Teach us to place our happiness in thee, the blessed God,
never seeking life among the dead things of earth,
or asking for that which satisfies the deluded;
But may we prize the light of thy smile,
implore the joy of thy salvation,
find our heaven in thee.
Thou hast attended to our happiness more than we can do;
Though we are fallen creatures thou hast not neglected us.
In love and pity thou hast provided us a saviour;
Apply his redemption to our hearts,
by justifying our persons,
and sanctifying our natures.
We confess our transgressions, have mercy on us.
When we are weary, give us rest,
ignorant, make us wise unto salvation,
helpless, let thy strength be made perfect in our weakness,
poor and needy, bless us with Christ's unsearchable riches,
perplexed and tempted, let us not travel on unchecked or dismayed,
but know that thou hast said,
'I will never leave thee nor forsake thee'.
Blessed be thy name!
