Open Altar Ministries

Stop running from God… He’s not chasing you to punish you, He’s chasing you to heal you.

A lot of us aren’t “done with God – we’re just running because we’re scared of what He might bring up.
�But the thing you’re running from is usually the very place He wants to restore. When you stop running, you stop bleeding.
�If you’ve been drifting, this is your sign to turn around, not tune out. God isn’t out to expose you; He wants to heal you, free you, and walk with you.

Today we celebrated the dads, grandfathers, spiritual fathers, and father figures who make a difference every day. Thank you for your strength, sacrifice, wisdom, and unwavering love.

We’re grateful for every family that joined us and helped make today so special. Most of all, we’re thankful for our Heavenly Father, whose love never fails.

Happy Father’s Day from our Open Altar family to yours! 💙

Plus, dinner will be served in honor of all fathers following service. We can’t wait to celebrate with you! ❤️

❤️ take a father shop deserves to be celebrated.

Somebody needs to hear this today.

God is not out to get you.

He’s not waiting for you to fail.
He’s not looking for a reason to punish you.
He’s not keeping score so He can throw your mistakes back in your face.

The enemy wants you to believe that God’s love is conditional.

But God’s love isn’t based on your performance.
It’s not based on your past.
It’s not based on whether you’ve had a good day or a bad day.

His grace is still sufficient.
His mercy is still available.
And His love is still everlasting.

Stop running from the God who is trying to restore you.

❤️ If this spoke to you, leave an “Amen” below.

Maybe the reason this season feels so hard is because God is doing something deeper than you can see.

Not every season feels good.
Some seasons break your plans.
Some seasons test your faith.
Some seasons leave you wondering what God is doing.

But every season has a purpose.

What feels like a setback today may be the very thing God uses to prepare you for tomorrow. Don’t give up in a season that God intends to use for your growth.

🌱 Ecclesiastes 3:1
“To everything there is a season, and a time for every purpose under heaven.

If you’re trusting God through a difficult season, leave a 🙏 in the comments.

The mistake most people make? Trying to turn a seasonal relationship into a permanent one.

Not everyone is meant to stay forever.

Some people are a reason.
Some are a season.
And some are a reminder that God is still writing your story.

Trust Him with every chapter.
