I am reading here that a father wants to be the first person his children come to when they need to talk, not the last.
There is no need to tell you that all those who are born have a father. But there is a need to tell you that there is also a heavenly father and that there are those people who can say:
“Our Father in heaven, hallowed be your name, your kingdom come, your will be done on earth as it is in heaven. Give us today our daily bread. Forgive us our debts, as we also have forgiven our debtors. And lead us not into temptation, but deliver us from the evil one.” (Matthew 6:9-13)
I belong to those people who can say: “Our Father in heaven …”
I know also that my Father in heaven wants to be the first person I come to when I need to talk (pray) and not the last. Let us remember the promise in Matthew 6:33,
“But seek first his kingdom and his righteousness, and all these things will be given you as well.”
