Father of All Creation: Our Father Who Art in Heaven

As I breath in the cool, damp air on this Father's Day morning I reflect back on my once earthly view of Our Heavenly Father and a small smile comes to my lips.  For over 15 years I had everything all wrong.  I am amazed that I survived, though, I admit the journey was an arduous one.  When we put earthly things or people first in our lives there is no hope for love, happiness and balance as the physical world is merely a pebble in our path along the way to our final destination.

When blinded by others with materialism, greed and desire we lose sight of the divine purpose.  Our divine purpose.

For you are my offspring (Acts 17:28)

I knew you even before you were conceived (Jer. 1:4-5)

I chose you when I planned creation (Eph. 1:11-12)

When spiritual purpose is blurry we tend to reach to comfort and understanding in the physical world because it makes more sense.  Addictions become saviors and we find solace in manmade deities.  Taking that leap of faith (believing in the unseen) is far more difficult than supporting what we can touch, hear, and feel each day.

Living a life with God second or third or even last limits any room for spiritual growth including happiness and balance in an imbalanced world.  I was blessed to see this misrepresentation through the help of earth angels and family, but mainly through making many, many mistakes along the way.  I used to be a pessimist and now I am an optimist about time healing all wounds, second chances and the so-called light at the end of the tunnel.

Today, I am happy to share that Our Heavenly Father is first in my life and everything seems to fit into place with more ease.  Nothing comes without pain and suffering, however, but the grace that is available to us appears more readily as we make the shift to our divine purpose. 

So on this Father's Day I give most humble thanks to my heavenly father; for blessing me with the gift of life and for a loving earthly father. My prayers continue to those who have not found a relationship with Him for they could experience more joy, love and happiness and their families could be much more unified and fruitful. 

For by him were all things created, that are in heaven, and that are in earth, visible and invisible, whether they be thrones, or dominions, or principalities, or powers: all things were created by him, and for him. Colossians 1:16
