Imagine it! There is Someone Who knows you through and through because He created you. He knew you before the foundation of the world. He knew you in your mother’s womb and was with her in pain during your birth. This Someone, your Father, cherishes you with a love that surpasses all understanding.
Not only that, but you are his delight. He loved you so much that the day came when He couldn’t wait any longer. His heart was bursting to call you His son, His daughter.
There is more. From the moment the priest poured water over you and declared, “I baptize you in the Name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Spirit, Amen,” all of heaven heard Him say, “This is my son, my daughter, in whom I am well pleased.” This divine recognition of you, His beloved child, is a testament to your significance in His eyes.
It is good to go to “your Father” every day and welcome Him to be a father to you. He knows your needs before you ask Him. Jesus called it “our daily bread.” Throw yourself and your day into His very capable and providential hands. Your heavenly Father is waiting to live in your heart today and the heart of everything you do.
I am a slow learner, but the Lord is teaching me that people who cross my path are His sons and daughters, even if they don’t know it. It blows me away when I see someone come to life because I take a quiet moment to listen to them. I must recall that every day, Jesus teaches us to pray to “our Father.”
Gospel Challenge: Sit with “your Father” for a moment or two. Let Him embrace you and your day. Remember, he will never leave your side, no matter what you do. His presence is a constant source of comfort and security.
