Father, I Love You

Father I Love You. "...Consider the lilies of the field, how they grow; they toil not, neither do they spin: And yet I say unto you, That even Solomon in all his glory was not arrayed like one of these." --Matthew 6:26-29 In Matthew 6:26-29, Christ looks beyond the obviousness of the lilies. He doesn't mention how beautiful they are or what color they are. In fact, He doesn't mention anything "obvious" about them. Instead, Christ goes to the "heart" and deeper attributes of the flowers. He considers their place in all of Creation. The letters in this book are written to and about our Heavenly Father and His Creation. They describe times of praise, petition, and inspiration. Each is written to be shared with the Giver of all things good and may serve as a daily devotional or a brief inspiration to those who only have a few moments to meditate on His Word. It is the prayer of the author that these pages will inspire others to do as Christ commands and to look beyond the "obvious" by providing examples of a different way to look at what is observed on a daily basis. The author encourages the reader to convert what is merely observed into what God, as shared in His Word, inspires us to feel and apply to our lives for inspirational and spiritual growth. "Let the words of my mouth, and the meditations of my heart, be acceptable in thy sight, O Lord, my strength and my redeemer." -Psalms 19:14
