Some earthly fathers make their kids leave home at age 18. Ready or not, away you go!

Time to flap your wings and fend for yourself. This is needful to learn and develop independence many times. Some parents, in a sense abandon their kids after a certain point to force them to mature and make decisions on their own.

If God is your Father, He will never kick you out of His house. You will always be welcome in His home and live there perpetually. You can ask him any questions you have, talk with him about anything, show him things in your life, and he’s never too busy, or on his phone distracted from your conversation. He sees you and understands every part about you. He knows why we do what we do and why we don’t. He wants to help us understand things about ourselves so we can grow stronger, be more useful, have more peace and joy.

‘I can’t even believe if there is a god, that he would even bother with these minuscule things pertaining to me.’ Well, he does. He made every snowflake look different, but equally beautiful. Look at nature. Every plant has its own style leaf, bark, root system, light and water requirements. Each of us humans have tiny cells that we can’t see but hold things together so we don’t fall apart. If there is a god interested in the outward and physical aspects of us, why wouldn’t he be interested in the inward parts of us…our mental and emotional and spiritual qualities.

My hope is for all ‘us peoples’ to recognize and know we aren’t on our own to figure out life and death and how to make life work. We have a god to turn to, who wants to help and direct us for good. Have you met him? If you talk to him, he will answer and help you.
