The Prodigal Father

How we see the Father is perhaps THE MOST significant concept where there is power, potential, and promise, and thus we can expect opposition. The enemy works overtime to get us to think that God is distant, heavy handed, unfair, uncaring. How we see God doesn’t change who He is, but is greatly affects our ability to:

1) Relate to Him and 2) Receive from Him

Good fathers are providers but not enablers.

Good fathers are present, not passive.

Good fathers are protectors but are not over-protective or controlling.

Jesus is the big brother that came searching for us, to bring us back to the royal family of God! He rejoices over each of us when we “come to our senses” and come back the the Father!
