last night at DIG we looked at Luke 15...the story of the Lost's...the lost sheep, the lost coin, and the prodigal's son. we focused in on the image of God as our Heavenly Father...
i have been thinking about it a lot lately, about this unconditional love that our Father has for us and the way that He is watching and waiting for us to come back to Him...
i don't think that we think of God as our Father nearly enough, at least i know that i don't. we tend to think of Him as things like Immanuel, Savior, and Lord, which are all great, but in many senses i think that all of those names are encapsulated in the name Heavenly Father.
when we think of God as our Heavenly Father, it is about more than Him just being with us, or saving us...it is about a relationship, one in which He loves us so incredibly much that He will go to any extreme to save us and to cultivate a loving friendship with us. God as Heavenly Father, puts God, in my mind, as close as He can possibly to us, and that is what He ultimately desires.
