Food For Thought
We often view God from our human perspective. God is Holy, Sovereign. He is All Knowing, All Powerful, All Presence ... He is Lord, King that needs to be worshipped, obeyed, feared ...
But have we thought about viewing God from His own perspective? Viewing God from God's perspective? If God is All Sovereign and He is All Sufficient ... then He does not need anything from us. He does not need our obedience, He does not need even our worship.
Religion tells us to do things to please God.
Jesus, came to present God as "Father". We are to call God "Abba" - Father. Let us view God from a Father's perspective.
As a human father, what do I want from my children? You may have different answers ... but for myself, I want "Nothing" from my children. What I want to see is that my children will grow up to be useful, helpful, responsible human beings that make positive contributions to societies and to the world. They are doing all these for themselves and not for me.
God our Father, does not need us to do anything for Him! What pleases Him is when we grow in maturity, growing in love towards our fellow human beings. Grow and Reflect the Image of God in this world that He has put us into. We grow into different stages of maturity not for God or to please God but for ourselves.
The Father's Perspective - It Is Not About Him But It Is About Us!
Our Father have always have us in His mind. God always think of us.
