God is a true Father. It is part of His nature to admonish and discipline His children. In His love He cannot stand idly by while people rush headlong into disaster and ruin their lives now and eternally. If there is no other way to make them listen, He resorts to warnings and discipline, in order to save at least some. Listen to His rebukes, and you will be spared many disciplinary measures and blows of judgment.

You feel alone and forsaken. You cannot cope with your fears and troubles. The thought of future calamities is more than you can bear. But remember, you have become a child of God the Father through Jesus Christ. Now there is one thing a father cannot do: leave a child on his own to cope with fear and trouble. No true father would do that. And even if such fathers do exist on earth, your heavenly Father will never forsake or fail you. (see Deuteronomy 31:8)

Children — not strangers or servants — have access to the treasures of their father’s house and to his heart. Do you want to experience this in your relationship with the heavenly Father? Only through faith in your Saviour Jesus Christ can you become a child of God. The cross of Calvary is the gate leading to the Father’s house. Bring your sins to the cross in repentance, confessing them before God and man. Then the gate will open and the riches of the Father’s house will be yours.

God is against the high and mighty who, with their arrogance, stand in the way of God’s greatness and His working. So be a child. God the Father is gracious to the small and lowly, drawing close to them. He loves the weak, the helpless, the incompetent. The beloved of the Lord rest in His embrace. May this assurance be enough for you if you are one of the small, weak and lowly.

A sign that we have become children of God through our Lord Jesus Christ is that we accept the will of the Almighty as the will of a father. The will of our heavenly Father is always filled with tender, loving care for His children. He never acts like a heartless tyrant. This is the comforting assurance of a child of God even during times of divine judgment.

You believe in the Lord Jesus Christ. That makes you a child of God, one beloved of the Lord. His beloved have a special claim on His loving care and help. The Father pays special attention to them. Bear this in mind whenever you think of the disasters threatening our world today. Cling to God’s promise: ‘The beloved of the Lord, he dwells in safety by him; he encompasses him all the day long.’ He will protect you as only a father could protect his little one, his beloved child, when in distress. (Deuteronomy 33:12)

Whoever lives like a happy and carefree child, completely dependent upon God, will experience God, as a Father, leading him in wonderful ways. He will see how God solves all his difficulties and problems, cares for him and intervenes on his behalf in every situation. It is wise to leave behind all human security and to seek only the Kingdom of God, His righteousness, His approval. Those who do so will find that all their needs are met (Matthew 6:33).

A child’s prayer to God the Father is powerful and has the promise of being answered, for God loves children. He listens to their cries and helps them. However, born-again children of God are often in danger of losing their child status, which Jesus Christ won for them. It must be demonstrated in everyday life. It needs to be constantly strengthened by childlike dependence upon the Father, by willingness to be humbled, by dedication to the Father’s will. The deeper our commitment, the more power our prayers will have.

Since God is a father in the truest sense of the word, what could make Him more happy than a person who has a childlike relationship with Him, who comes to Him in complete trust and who expects gifts of love from Him? From millions of people the Father receives only mistrust, and that wounds His heart. Would you like to be someone who brings joy to God’s heart? Then trust in His love. Trust Him completely.
