Our Heavenly Father is the Father is the giver of every good gift.

This week on the First of Teen Podcast, we're going to explore the different gifts only God can give. His mercies are vast, powerful,

and real. His love has the ability to completely overwhelm and satisfy every one of our needs.

Everything he gives us satisfies, transforms, and leads us to abundant life.

As we spend this week, stirring up our affections toward God, allow your heart to become

soft and open. Allow his loving character to draw you close and provide life to every dry and weary place in your soul.

Welcome to the First of Team Podcast. The verse for today comes from Isaiah 6613. Scripture says,

As one whom his mother comforts,

so I will comfort you.

Your Heavenly Father is the God of comfort.

When the world takes its toll on you, he

longs to wrap you up in his loving embrace and bring you comfort to cover all

your pain. In the face of trials and tribulations,

he desires to provide you comfort

in the fact that he works all things for your good.

And when everything seems bent against you, he longs to sing comfort over you as he fills

you with the joy and foundation of his presence. Jeremiah 31, 13 through 14, says,

Then shall young women rejoice in the dance,

and the young men and the old shall be merry.

I will turn their mourning into joy. I will comfort

them and give them gladness for sorrow. I will feast the soul of the priests with abundance, and my people shall be satisfied with my goodness,

declares the Lord.
