God has graciously brought back to us the knowledge of the Father and the Son, which is referred to as the Divine Pattern; and is showing us what is agape love (which is completely emptied of all self-seeking) versus eros love (which is always self-seeking).
According to the Divine Pattern, I, as the parent, determine in what manner the blessings from my heavenly Father is bestowed onto my children. That does not place me in a position of power, but rather in a place where I need a divine character, so that I can portray the characteristics of Jesus Christ to my children.
Let us tap from the blessing structure built into the relationship between our heavenly Father and His Son: thankfulness and praise to the great Giver which unlocks the streams of blessings from heaven.
