Things I Wish My Father Knew #14 Indeed, A Costly Commitment

When the bills started coming in,

you probably realized

that having a family

was going to be

a costly commitments.

Those financial obligations

are only the beginning

of a father’s investment

in the life

of his beloved child.

It seems like a lot to ask

of a father,

doesn’t it?

Yet, a loving father

willingly pays the price.

The Heavenly Father

also counted the cost

of providing believers

with membership

in His family.

He willingly paid the price –

the death of His

only begotten Son.

It seems like a lot to ask

of a Heavenly Father,

doesn’t it?

But, our loving Father

willingly paid the price!

“Because of His great love for us,

God, who is rich in mercy,

made us alive with Christ

even when we were dead

in transgressions –

it is by grace

you have been saved.”

(Ephesians 2:4-5)

“What, then, shall we say

in response to this?

If God is for us,

who can be against us?

He who did not spare

His own Son,

but gave Him up for us all –

how will He not also,

along with Him,

graciously give us

all things?”

(Romans 8:31-32)
