Father ...

Guess what..
I am in the library !!!
I haven't been visiting library for such a long time..
but today's the first day of school for me..
and I paid a visit here ~~ feels good..

Today's passage is about Lord's prayer,
and because it's not the typical Lord's prayer that
we pray all the time, made be think of all the details
in the passages.
Particularly, I really love how Lord's prayer starts with "Father!!"
and instead of OUR father, it's Father !!

It seems like there is more plea when "our" is omitted,
and for that reason, it feels more personal.

I was reading the little illustration page, and it had a story
of a kid playing hide-and-seek with a father.
Father promises that he would buy the child a gift if he finds him.
After the countdown is over, and about 2 min. passed,
kid realized that Father is not there anymore.
When the father showed from a tree behind, the kid
ran up to the father and said, "I thought I would never see you again!"
(not written well, but yeah.. that's how the story goes)

And the book continues to say that we need to first earn the Father,
not the gift! All the rest just follows us when we have the Father in our hearts.
I think this may be what I need to work on a little more.
Instead of "Father - look at me, I am so weak, I need your help...
I want to say "Father - here I am, embrace me!!"

My application for today is to
have a little worship time with my Father
in my room !! I'm gonna take my guitar out and
spend some time relating to Him.
