He Never Meant Us To Be without Mother and Father, But ...

 

I'm not a Smoothie King customer. But I had to stop there today, because I needed a restroom when I off-boarded a bus.

Smoothie King was not on the way in Jesus, not for me today, but life sometimes ignores our heart in Him, sometimes ignores that commerce apart from kindness isn't king in my heart, but that goodwill, peace, living secure in Him all are - all with a lot of help in Him.

With that said, I have a tangent:

The love of Jesus says not to put even mother or father above, in place of, or in the name of our Heavenly Father, not in the name of the only God who created us from nothing at all, the only Heavenly Father who hopes for all of us among the masses.

Only God in Heaven is our everlasting king, who gives me hope for the unduly departed, even for the Bernie Mac who portrayed absolute fatherly love.

Why not make fathers king in place of God above?

The Jesus, the Son who lives in many earthly (not worldly) fathers, tells us so many reasons why not. Here are only a quick few reasons why not:

• No matter how perfect an earthly father or dad, all have fallen short of perfection in Jesus.

• Earthly fathers are not without wrong perceptions or misunderstanding; but oh, thank God for his perfect understanding of us all.

• God's will is for us not to adore one another to the point of worshipping one another, but for fathers and children alike to look forward to being with Him in the heavenly realm, one day.

• He needs us to be Heaven minded.

• And there are so many things we must depend on God for that only God can do, although we know He needs earthly fathers to do their parts, too.

Amen.
