A Good Father

God is a good father. He doesn’t accept his children half-heartedly nor does He play favorites. He called us when we were not his children and made us the heirs of all things. Though we cared not what He did for us, He sought us out. He clothed us in the robes of the Righteous. He breathed new life into us. Night and day He feeds us with heavenly food when we are hungry. He washes us spotless when we are dirty. He longs for us to grow more like Jesus Christ and that is his will for us. No evil will befall us that He will not turn to good. No weapon formed against his children will prosper.

From my vantage point, I can’t see his hand working. I can’t comprehend his mind or even the extent of his plans for me. But I trust that his way is perfect (Ps. 18:30). Though all my plans come to nothing, I can rest knowing that his will not. 🙂
