Our Heavenly Dad

Yo, It's Father's Dad. Haha.


Going back to OCBC for the first time in a while was so awesome. xP. It's so great being able to see the children so excited and to sing praises to God with all our hearts! Also getting to see everyone again was great. xP. OCBC is a family and really passionate about the nations. xP. Not a problem. xP. Learning about Charity was cool.

Anyways, one thing that has really affected me the last while is that I've learned to refer to God as Dad.

I don't know exactly, but I feel like I'm way closer to Him right now, like, our relationship.

Through Jesus' death we have the right to become children of God adopted by His blood. Our perfect older brother who left the house, travelled to a distant place and came to seek us, lost and rebellious younger brothers, paying the price for our rebellion, allowing us to return if we want to.

So, having entered into this relationship, the God of the universe is as a father to us. He pays the price for all of our mistakes. He paves the way for us to do great things. He knows we aren't perfect, but He's there with us every step of the way. He loves us and wants to see us do well in the plans He has for us. He also has given us the privelege to be His ambasadors here and to reach out to our other younger brothers.

Everything we have has come from Him and everything from His grace and mercy.

But, it is a relationship and so it's really cool being able to call him our Dad. Where as 'God' is so distant and cold. At the same time though, I don't want to limit Him to the image of our Father because He is so much more than that and not comparable to our dad's on earth.

So, do I call Him Dad or God?
