I Have a Father

God in His holy dwelling is a father of the fatherless and a champion of widows.
Psalms 68:5 HCSB

Giving mental assent that something is so and experiencing it are very different and the key ingredient is Faith. Faith is active not passive.

For me to know my God as my father I have to change my view, my attitude and my confession. Self-pity does not reside in the heart of a daughter of God. Faith leaves no room for 'poor me.' If I am who He says I am then I must act like He says I am and get my armour on, pick up the sword of faith and fight for my right as a daughter. My enemies are laziness, self-pity, indulgence and willingness to comply with abuse or neglect. These all must be driven out of my life. I am a child of God.

Jesus is my example. He came to seek and save the lost and did not compromise. I cannot compromise. Amen!
