I’m fascinated each time I see toddlers holding onto their father’s hand as they walk along a street. There seems to be a satisfied look in the child’s face as he/she walks with his/her father. I believe that the relationship with one’s father is a unique one, slightly different from that with the mother (though this is special too). It is a necessity that every child of God also enjoys this blissful relationship with his/her own heavenly Father. This devotional is aimed at helping you to do just that.

This kind of life calls us to be people who cultivate lives with God in prayer, move toward reconciliation, work for justice, have healthy inner lives, and see our bodies and sexuality as gifts to steward.

You’ll never hunger again.
