The Father's Suffering Love

our Father does not seek His own welfare His own increase in wealth or good or His own reputation. He is willing to suffer and take up the cost of loving men to His own impoverishment and cost Of Himself.

there is a unique suffering that comes with loving people with free will. of loving prodigals whom you never really know whether or when they will come home to you. Here is an ache of heart a pronounced suffering, agony and pain of love from loving people who do not love you. There is a painful endurance of love and depth of suffering to the Father heart of God is unique to God for Gods is love and perfect compassion.

to love means to suffer. to love means to give to the coat of everything you own down to the joys of your own heart to give all and not hold to anything. Jesus sacrifice was such, so the Love the Father is also.

the Father bears the pain of rejection and derision and scorn of His own person. our Father gives all of Himself even to pain and death and shame, withholding no good thing from His sons. Our Father gives His very heart, His very best to men in the only beloved Son of God Jesus Christ.
