God, My Father

"Jesus used the word 'father' more than any other description or name for God. And He taught us to address God in the same way: 'Our Father who art in heaven....' " 
Mary A. Kassian, Biblical Womanhood In the Home

I'm sure this is probably not a new idea to most of us, but I was thinking last night about God as our Father.  When all we want is for someone to be intimately involved in our lives, He is right there wanting nothing more than to share everything with us.  He is interested in all of the little things that concern us.  And when we desire someone strong to sternly direct us down the right path, we can go to the letter He has written to hear all of his loving directions.  Then, when we need comfort along the way, His Spirit is there with us, holding us.  I thank God that whether we have a wonderful earthly father or have never experienced the fatherly affection we longed for from our earthly father, we can know that God is right there, just waiting to father us.
