..O Lord, you are our Father. We are the clay,
you are the potter; we are all the work of your
hand. Isaiah 64:8 NIV
Cheers! It’s hard to believe it is June already. I
hope all who read this is doing well, and if
you are not, please know you have a Heavenly
Father who loves you, if you only reach out to
Him.
This month in America, we celebrate Father’s
Day. My dad died back in 1986, at the age of
fifty-three. He and my mother came to visit on
Father’s Day weekend, that year. He lived long
enough to see his first two grandsons. No one
knew that Father’s Day, would be his last Father’s
Day, here on earth.
I loved my dad with all my heart. He was a strict
father on the outside. Inside however, he was a
soft marshmallow. Though, he did not disclose that
to everyone. He gave his life to Christ in his forties.
Together, he and I became members of our church
one Sunday morning.
In the house I grew up in, when I came down from
upstairs, off to my left was the dining room. There
was a painting of Jesus on the far wall of that room.
It was centered above the desk. As a little girl, I
related that picture to God, the Father; His face
was stern. I realized some years later, that I viewed
Jesus as my friend, but I looked at God as a strict,
stern Father who was always disappointed in me.
I asked God to forgive me for viewing Him in such
a harsh and wrong way. I realized that I was
looking at Him the way I perceived my dad to be.
Have you viewed our Heavenly Father in a way
that is totally wrong, or even partly wrong? If
so, just ask Him to forgive you. He will. Through His
Son Jesus, He will cleanse us from our sins and
when we invite Him into our heart, He will walk
with us always.
I could not imagine my life without God. We live
in such a dark world; we need to be light out
there, and we need the hope in our hearts to
get us going out in that dark world to bring the
hope and light to those who can not find their way.
Have a great month!
In Christ, Pamela Depew
