“So if you sinful people know how to give good gifts to your children, how much more will your heavenly Father give good gifts to those who ask him.” Jesus
I think one reason Jesus encourages us to see God as our Father is to help sharpen our understanding of God’s motives and kind intentions. The universe can be a cold and cruel place. Believing that God created it, might lead us to believe that God is cold and cruel. To see God as a loving Father is itself an act of faith. By it we acknowledge God’s displeasure with the transgressions which made cursing this place necessary. At the same time, we look to Him to see us safely through it to our new home. Our Father condemns one place to raise our hearts to another. He is, after all, our “Father in Heaven.” Conversations Within” ts 6/16/2015
