PROFILE
FATHER LIKE NO OTHER
Developing an intimate
relationship with God
by Chikumbutso Chapusa
A father is often a safe haven,
someone to run to. With a good
father, you know you are always
welcome, your needs are always a
priority and his affection is
always yours.
Of course, not everyone has this
experience, unfortunately. All
some people have known from
their father is rejection and abuse.
Which is why the concept of God
as a father may be difficult for
some to grasp. So think of God
as the perfect father. If you can
picture a father as perfect, or
look at an example of a perfect
father you have seen just a
glimpse of who God is as a
father.
But before we get how to relate
with God as a father, you may be
wondering why you should think
of God as a father to start with. I
mean isn’t he some big unseen
being in the sky?God is our
father both by adoption and by
birth
God is our father
by adoption and
by birth
“If you have a
great father,
you have seen a
glimpse of God”
