Who's father? Our Father.
While I hear that there are some who object to God the Father being male; I rejoice that I have a Father in heaven that I can trust; who is always there for me. I "get it" that there are some who were neglected or abused by their fathers on earth and may cringe at even the title father. But, as for me, since early childhood, knowing that I have a Father in heaven that truly loves and care for me has given me great comfort. He has been with me no matter what trials I have faced in life. It is good to be able to trust someone to be there to listen to you when you need someone. Our Father is always there for us.
When people tell me that they refer to God the Father as a woman, I am liable to respond by reminding that Jesus said that we are to pray: "Our Father" and that I don't believe that I am up to the task of giving God a sex change. But, they can go for it if they think that they are.
I give thanks that my true Father, who is in heaven, truly loves me and He truly loves you.
God's Peace - Pr. J
