Our Father is an encourager.  He wants no one to fail.  It is not His desire or will for anyone to perish.  He wills no one’s failure.  He wants us to succeed.  He cheers from the sidelines.  He sent His Son to show us how to run the race.  He sent His Spirit to enable us to succeed.  His love never stops; it never gives up; it is eternally unending.  Take a longer look at your Father.  See His kind eyes.  Hear His encouraging words.

“If God is for us, who can be against us?….”For I am sure that neither death nor life, nor angels nor rulers, nor things present nor things to come, nor powers, nor height nor depth, nor anything else in all creation, will be able to separate us from the love of God in Christ Jesus our Lord.”  Romans 8:31b, 38-39 (ESV)
