John 16:27 (Amplified Bible)
"For the Father Himself [tenderly] loves you..............."
So many people have been brought up with the view of God that He is a stern Father just waiting for us to put a foot wrong so that He can punish us; that could not be further from the truth. We have a Father who loves us so much that He sent His loved son Jesus, to die in our place, so that we could come to know Him as our Father. He longs for us to know Him and call Him, "Abba, Daddy, Father". The Bible says that He is a Father to the fatherless, that He lavishes His love on us and wants to come and make His home with us. That sounds like a really good heavenly Father to me.

I listened to this prayer called, "You are my Dad", this morning and decided it went really well with this picture.
