My youngest son calls me oldie. My 3^rd son calls me pa. my oldest and 2^nd son call me dad. These men learned who I am by living with me. As they grew up, they learn what I liked and disliked. They found out what happens when they disobeyed their mother and I. Discipline was always required from each one of them. I never corrected a child for spilling milk. But if they ever said no to me they found out what discipline meant. Each one learned about me a little at a time. They didn’t learn overnight. It took years and they are still learning now. Many people called God Father and have no idea who He is. When I started walking with God, it surprised me how personable He is. To me He was always the man upstairs. The reason was that I didn’t know Him. I was amazed at how much He was like me only bigger and better. I should say how much I am similar to Him. You see we are the image and likeness of God. But I didn’t know that until I started to learn who He is. As I spent time with Him and learned about Him reading the bible, God became real to me. God is truly my Father and Jesus is my older brother. Because I am a member of His family. And as I disciplined my children, God does the same to me. Because I am not illegitimate. I am one of His sons. As a loving Father, He will accept anyone into His family. All you have to do is ask.
