Matthew 7 verse 11 "If you then, being evil are able to give good gifts to your children, how much more will your father in heaven give good things to those who make request to him?
God wants us to know that he is not a father who takes pleasure in seing us in pain, defeated or distressed. He is a father that gives us exactly what we ask in his name. His love for us is long suffering.
God gave us the gift of children inorder for us to understand what a father-heart or infact a parent heart is like. If we being sinners and evil doers are able to give good things to our children, how much more will God give us what we ask in his name. His love is unconditional, he demonstrates it to everyone be it sinners or saints. This is what a father does to his children however good or bad they are.
1John 3:1 Behold what manner of love the Father has bestowed on us, that we should be called children of God! Therefore the world does not know us, because it did not know Him.
This is the pure love we ought to have, to love even they that appear to be unlovable. One thing that comes to my mind is, we are all God's children and not servants. That is why we are given this special privilege of a father to child relationship with God. Then that means you and me are brothers and sisters thus we ought to love one another.
Now here is something that disturbs me. If were brothers and all of us as Christians acknowledge this, would it be proper for us to send our children to expensive private schools while our brothers as beggars and destitute children at the street corners?
Isn't it more of a neglect of duty and or partly acceptance of the Christian religion rather that wholly embracing it? Is there equality among the children of God and equal distribution of blessings or some vessels are consuming that which they should have transported to others too. We have an obligation to care for one another. You are a brother's keeper, so am l?
