God calls Himself your Father. He is waiting for you, His child, to love Him. The Father is looking for your love, for He delights in the love of His children. But you will be a joy to Him only in so far as you love God above all else. This means surrendering to Him everything your heart clings to, be it people or things, giving Him your all for love of Him. Then you will bring joy to the heart of God and, in loving God and being loved by Him, you will be richly blessed and happy.

God suffers as a Father, because so often people, including His own, ignore Him. All too frequently, when in need of help, the last one we turn to is the Lord. But whoever has not learnt to count on God and His very real help now in everyday life will not be able to do so in times of trouble either, when all human help fails. That person will see no way out. So it is important to learn to count on God’s help today.

God is a true Father. A good father pays attention even to the smallest thing his child does. How much more so our Father in heaven! The smallest thing we do in secret — a small sacrifice, an act of kindness — is noted by God. He treasures it in His heart and, one day, will reward us openly when, as the great Rewarder, He gives everyone his reward at the Last Judgment. Should not God’s love overwhelm us? He rewards us sinners for the smallest act of love and keeps a record of our tears. Remember this love in the darkest hours. Then your trust will know no bounds, just as God’s love knows no bounds. (Matthew 6:4, Psalm 56:8)

God is sometimes obliged to judge and discipline us. Who can understand Him at such times? — Only those who have a childlike relationship with God. They recognize the love prompting Him. Children who know what their father’s heart is like can see his fatherly love even when he has to be firm and deal with them in ways not to their liking. Our attitude towards the will of God shows clearly how we stand. Those who do not know the Father will react defiantly when they find it hard to accept His incomprehensible will. Do we have a father-child relationship with Him or not?

Are the problems in your life mounting up – and you do not know how you will cope? Listen to what God would say to you: ‘You are not the one who has to cope with these problems. I Myself will deal with them. And no matter how great they are, they cannot be greater than I am. I, your Father, am greater than everything and can deal with the greatest problem. Put your confidence in Me.’

Your heart cries out, ‘I don’t feel like going on. Things are too hard. It’s more than I can take.’ But God your Father lovingly says, as it were, ‘I am waiting for people who will trust Me in the darkest night and obediently follow My leading, persevering to the end.’ Do not turn aside from the path along which God is taking you. Do not abandon it inwardly by grumbling or indulging in self-pity. Such reactions will cost you eternal glory. Instead, thank God your Father for leading you along this particular path in His love, so that one day you may enter the heavenly glory.

God calls Himself your Father. He is waiting for you, His child, to love Him. The Father is looking for your love, for He delights in the love of His children. But you will be a joy to Him only in so far as you love God above all else. This means surrendering to Him everything your heart clings to, be it people or things, giving Him your all for love of Him. Then you will bring joy to the heart of God and, in loving God and being loved by Him, you will be richly blessed and happy.
