several times a week

Several times a week I talk to people who are down, worried, concerned, depressed. God is going to get them, they think. They have not been good enough. They have been trying but they just know that it is not enough.

If you have ever felt this way, let me ask you a question. Is this how you want your children to feel? No. You know it's not. Absolutely not. You want your children to do the opposite. You want them to get up in the morning and be filled with joy. You want them to know that they are loved, even when they do dumb things. You want your children to celebrate the goodness of life.

Is our heavenly Father so different?

It's a beautiful day in God's world, be sure to see the good.

I love this post. It explains how I feel about our heavenly father.
Most people disagree with me (dont care) but I like to expound on the thought of how our heavenly father would treat his children. We cant imagaine why or how an earthly father tortures his children? Burning them with cigarette and abusing them horribly. What kind of monster would do this to an innocent infant or toddler? We see them in the news and these people are hated and sick. So why then would our heavenly father, the ultimate father, let this happen to his children? Would he willingly watch, as his children are tortured for eternity in hell? Just cant fit that in my brain?
