Fathers and sons
So recently I’ve been fascinated by the father/son relationship and how many similarities there are between our relationship with God. I love being a father (on most days), I love that Austin has so much security in my presence. In his eyes there is nothing that can go wrong if daddy is around. I just laid him down for a nap and it’s been a rough day so far. As soon as I walked out of the room he went ballistic and crawled out of bed bawling his eyes out. So I laid down next to his crib on the floor where he could see me and he just laid there knowing that everything is fine since daddy was there.
Man if we could just grasp the concept that the Holy Spirit is present with us everywhere we go and in everything we do how much different would our actions and thoughts be?
Check out these verses:
1John 3:1- See what kind of love the Father has given to us, that we should be called children of God; and so we are.
Gal 4:6-7- Because we are sons we can cry out Daddy and we are no longer slaves but sons and because we are sons, we are heir w/ Christ
Not only these, but just think about what you would do for your own son
- Austin is secure in my presence
- There is nothing Austin could ever do that I won’t forgive
- I will always love Austin without condition or regard
- I will always be approachable to Austin no matter where I am or what I’m doing
- I will always be willing to give Austin what he needs or desires
And all these things God does a million times more intense- What a God we have and what an awesome relationship we have with Him- Maybe you should say thanks?
