If God is our Father, doesn't it seem like a good idea to build an association with Him like our relationship with our physical father?
by Kimberly Zollner
don't know about the rest of you, but I
am tired of seeing so many messed-up relationships everywhere
I look. For example, just to mention some people I know, Susie
is going out with Paul, but then Susie goes to Paul's basketball
game and meets Paul's best friend, Steve. Then the two of them
start dating behind Paul's back, but Paul has been seeing Susie's
friend, Janet, for two months, the same two months Susie and Paul
have dated.
Needless to say, relationships like these do not last. After watching Paul, Susie, Steve and Janet (not their real names) make a mess of their relationships, I've decided to place a classified advertisement for a friend who will contribute to a friendship based on love. Why not? Paul and Susie seem a little too preoccupied to bother. Here is the ad.
Wanted: Someone to listen to my problems. Someone who understands my feelings. Someone who can relate to my trials. Someone who can be trusted and who will trust in me. Someone who respects my beliefs. Someone who supports my endeavors. Someone who will help me make the correct decisions. Someone to always be there. Someone who can forgive my shortcomings, no matter how awful. Someone who will love me with the bad yet help me strive for the good.
Well, all right, I might not get many responses to my ad, but it helps me make an important point. No mere human being could meet the demands of my ad. God is the only who can comply with and actually surpass my requirements. He is flawless and perfect, the epitome of goodness and righteousness.
God's qualifications far exceed those listed in the ad. In fact, He wants to build a relationship with each human being and invite each person to become a member of His family, even Paul and Susie.
Why would the Creator of the universe even consider befriending a human being?
