Divine Re-parenting

Using the Scriptures, we can build up a picture of God. So set up a canvas in your soul and allow the Holy Spirit to paint a picture for you of the Father using the palette of God’s Word. As you read, let God re-parent you, and a fresh, clear and accurate picture of the Father will be drawn.

The first thing you need to know about your heavenly Father is He is never too busy for you. Were your parents ever too busy for you? Were there occasions when you cried out for them and they were not there? Well, be assured that your heavenly Father is not like that. Even though He has a million and one things calling for His attention and a gigantic universe to run, He pays as much attention to you as if you were the only person on the face of the earth. Such is His relationship with you that it is as if there were not another soul in the universe. You don’t have to share His attention with anyone—except, of course, when you are in prayer or fellowship with others. And even then He relates to you as if you were the only being in existence.

You may be too busy for your heavenly Father, but, take it from me, your heavenly Father is never too busy for you. Look once again at the text at the top of this page. It is written especially for you.
