There is a God whose power is unspeakable. Whose word holds the creative might of all the galaxies and beings ever created. Who knows no beginning and no end.
This God has spoken, and this is what he said:
I thought, “How I long to make you my sons and give you a desirable land, the most beautiful inheritance of all the nations.” I thought, “You will call me ‘My Father’ and never turn away from me.” Jeremiah 3:19
We are taking a long road of contemplation that will lead us through the suffering of Christ all the way up to the cross. But long before Christ suffered the humiliation of his last days, God suffered, over and over again, the rejection of the people he loved.
As we examine our hearts and lives, we do so as those whom God has longed to make his children. We come in repentance to the one who longs to hear us call him “Father.” Our hearts are heavy with awareness of our sin and guilt, but our burden is lifted the moment we confess, and call our Lord “My Father.”
