Things to think about…

·       Just like your relationship with your earthly father, your relationship with God can have ups and downs; at times you may have disagreements, misunderstandings, or you might have a hard time being obedient. Remember that God loves us all the time. When we mess up He wants us to come back to Him. He loves us so much that He sent His only son to die for us. (John 3:16)

·       Our love for our Father should lead us to repentance.

·       Christianity is one of the only religions where we can call our god “father”.

·       Our God is jealous and wants to spend time with us. How much time do you spent talking to, thinking about, or reading the words of your Heavenly Father?
