Ten reasons why I love having a heavenly Father:
1. Because I struggle with who I am supposed to be. But in my Father, I know exactly who I am supposed to be (Matt.5:48)
2. Because I have many needs, which nobody else on earth can meet (Matt.6:8, 32)
3. Because I doubt the goodness of every human. But in my Father, I never have to doubt that He is good (Matt. 7:11)
4. Because I worry too much. But in my Father, I know everything is in His control (Matt. 10:29-31)
5. Because I have messed up so much in my life and I continue to mess up. But my Father is merciful (Luke 6:36)
6. Because I need someone to discipline me when I become stubborn and stupid (Heb. 12:7-11)
7. Because human love is always imperfect and lacking. But my Father’s love is always perfect and completely satisfying (1 John 4:7-18)
8. Because I don’t like who I become when I mold myself. But I like who my Father is molding (Isa. 64:8)
9. Because I need somebody greater than myself to worship (Phil. 2:11)
10. Because I love going home. And I’m seeking a permanent home. (John 14:23)
