“Fearest sometimes that thy Father
Hath forgot?
When the clouds around thee gather,
Doubt Him not.
Always hath the daylight broken–
Always hath He comfort spoken–
Better hath He been for years
Than thy fears.”
The God of the Bible is a living God. He has a heart of tenderness and love like our mother’s heart. He thinks of His creatures, and cares for them. He seeks their companionship, is interested in their life, craves their affection, and is grieved by their sin or alienation from Him. Jesus was the revealer of God; and He used but one name in making God known – the name Father – putting into the holy word all that is tender, sweet, and compassionate, all that love could possibly mean.
