Soul Snack 8/129 ... A Restless Father


The conviction of sin is an eternal mercy from heaven.

The promotion of guilt is a manifestation of divine restlessness. My Father will not rest until He has infilled me with His righteousness.

The  restless Father and a receiving, attentive child is the formula for a successful and complete eternity.

This restless Father can no more leave His child in sin than deny Himself.

His restlessness means my rapture.

The Spirit of guilt prepares me well for the scene of glory. His convictions to me, speak yet again of His love for me. He wants me out of harm's way. He will spare no effort that my self harm (sin) is removed from my life.

Moreover, we have all had human fathers who disciplined us and we respected them for it. How much more should we submit to the Father of our spirits and live! Hebs 12:9


Like a father who is unable to retire for the evening because his princess is on her first date, is my father in heaven. He looks down with great care and longing to gift me with well being. No human father can rest until is daughter is home safe and healthy - so too my restless heavenly Father until I am safe at home with Him.

Please - give God rest to-day, confess sin to Him. He surely wants to give you rest today.
