The Love of a Father

Fall break is over after tomorrow, but for me, my last day of fall break will be spent driving. I am leaving tomorrow in order to get there tomorrow night. I have had a lot of fun at home, but will be extremely happy to be back at school. I have had a lot of time at night by myself where I can just reflect on the weekend and even the school year so far, and even my life in general. I started thinking about things that I have done in the past, and by the past I even mean things that I could have done like 5 minutes ago. For me, it is amazing how everything that I have done can be forgiven by God. I love comparing it to my dad. I can make my dad extremely mad sometimes, and sometimes I don't blame him for not forgiving me. I know that he loves me and always will, but he is human. I am thinking about the love that he has for me, and comparing it to God, the love that my heavenly Father is so much greater than that of anyone else on earth that its ridiculous. In the sermon at church yesterday, the pastor used Paul as the example. If we were to be persecuted, we say that we would still have our church friends...but Paul didn't. No one on earth loves you like God does, and no one can fill that void that you are longing for like God does. Everything that He does is uncomparable to what we are experiencing on earth. No one can compare to the love and care that He can give.
