Lord Almighty.” 2 Corinthians 6:18

My father died when I was very young.  I don’t remember anything about him.  My older sister, Ruth, will often tell me about him since she wants me to remember something about his character and love for his children.  Her words are nice, and I appreciate her effort in trying to relate to me something of my father to remember, but it doesn’t resonate in my heart of hearts.  They are only words.  I think all my life I searched for a father’s love.  Many times over I would read about God’s love for me and that He would be a father to me.  They were words to me for years, but only lately have they become to mean that He, God, will be and is my father and that He loves me.  I think I wrote about it before but it’s worth repeating – I was sitting on my bed praying when a very soft feeling of wind moved across the bed and I heard within my being “would I give you a stone if you asked for bread”.  If you read the entire chapter it will be talking about your earthly father not giving his children a stone if they asked for something.  These soft words I heard have brought tears to my eyes many times as they have given me the love of a father that I have searched for all my life.  God is faithful and he does hear the cry of our hearts.
