God and "Daddies"

Ok, let me explain this first. God was not even a concept for me growing up. Not until I got to school and kids started talking about this God thing did I even know the word and a concept was not drawn until much later. I was maybe nine or ten when I went to church the first time! So by the time I ever thought of God, comparing Him to my father was out of the question. I have never ever done that. I hear that trips a lot of people up.

As far as daddys go I know the best daddy in the world! My sons adoptive father! He did all the things daddys are susposed to do with their kids, and my son wasnt even his! That didnt change after he adopted him either I know. I am thankful I have that image of Brad on the floor teaching our Justyn to crawl and making him laugh just to see our boy smile. Of him coming home and yelling "Family Hug". I would run and get Justyn so fast and later, he would run to me and grab my hand dragging me to the door for our hugs...When someone says now that God is like your father, that is what I think of. Not only that, but when Justyn through a fit and hit his brother, his dad put him in a time out. When Justyn ran in the street, he got a spanking. Fathers, good fathers. the best fathers, they discipline their children! God does not spank or put you in a time out per say but he does discipline you! He lets you know if you care to listen and feel...yes, sometimes you can FEEL a wrong decision...and the right one too...

But God is NOT human therefor He does not have human emotions. I have known God and Jesus for maybe a year. I have known versions of them longer, but only about a year with the real deal...I love Jesus deeply.  I cannot imagine how much He loves ME!!! Two things....One....God allowed His son, who is an extension of Him, to be killed in such a painful and humiliating way so I could be saved. And Two... i have known God for about a year as I said, but He has known me since BEFORE TIME BEGAN!!! How deep does His emotions run really?

God made us in His image but He did not want us to make Him in our image! God is not self seeking, egotistical. anger driven, moody, mean, He IS NOT HUMAN....we do not know the emotions we have in common with Him, or what He has that we have no ideas about...I for one never think of God as a dad...He is my ultimate parent, better than mom or dad and not in the same class as either!
