Look upon yourself and think for a moment regarding this thought in your mind, are you a person who has been fathered by God? If you are then you will recognize the qualities listed in the bible in which God describes each of us who have believed. Take note of each as you search thoroughly and recognize that God is dictating to you everything that He has already set in his heart that you are. He does not base this upon what you have done but according to what His only begotten son Jesus Christ has done. The only requirement from you is that you accept and receive that which is freely given and it is through this that the true father of everything regards you as one of His children. So the real question is are you ready to accept God’s proposal to be the kind of father that has shaped, molded, and conformed you physically but spiritually as well? Some important points:
1) Acknowledge Jesus Christ and his sacrifice with the full knowledge that the opportunity to be a child of God is based upon this alone.
2) Remember that God has desired to be a father to you before you were born but there is a wall called sin that separates you from Him.
3) Allow yourself to be shaped, molded, and conformed into the individual you were meant to be and remember this is what makes God the true father.
Take into consideration that there have been men and women who have been in relationship with God as a loving father and seek to copy these examples that have been set. If you and I look carefully we will excel in our walk with God and we shall learn from Him as a child does a father. As He creates the image of His son and manifests it in your life and mine this is what it means to be a father.
