The Image of God as Parent

Author Unknown

It is impossible for the human mind to fathom our infinite God in His totality. But He reveals His nature in pictures, images of what He is like and who He is. The Bible is filled with powerful illustrations of God—He is strong as a fortress, a shield, a rock; yet He is graceful and beautiful as the wings of a dove. And there is one image that speaks more powerfully than any other.

God is our Father.

No image could be more universally appreciated than that of a parent. The love from our parents or the lack thereof, does so much to forge our image of who we are and how we see the world. And this month in Today in the Word, we'll walk through the Word looking at the many ways in which God is the perfect parental figure for us. He is the heavenly representation of the wonderful parents we have, or even the missing source of nurturing love we so desperately long for.
