“

When will men learn that God is God, not man, and that He does not change? EVERY calamity, EVERY death, is a witness to the POWER OF EVIL and to the truth of the living God. The Word of God is life, and it will abide forever. Through all eternity it will stand fast. How can man, knowing what God is and what He has done, choose Satan's way instead of God's way? There is only one path to Paradise restored,—the path of obedience. -
Signs of the Times, January 25, 1910, par. 18

Our Father, MY Father

About week, or a little longer, ago I was getting ready for bed, thinking about the concept of God being my Father. I had heard people talking about it a lot, and I did believe that I was God's son, but the implications of this never really struck home.

As I was thinking, something suddenly clicked, I finally got it! God is my Father, and I am His son by adoption! This means He loves like my Dad (and my Dad loves me a lot :D), but even more; after all, "God is love." This made me really excited, and I began praising God.

That night, for the first time in my life, I could truly begin my prayer with "Dear Father." Before I had been saying "Dear Lord," like a servant would to his master. But now I can come before the Father, and address Him as my Father.

What joy this brings! It is such a wonderful thing to think about! Praise God!
