To many, God is just the One who sees all they do, watching from afar, ensuring wrong actions and thoughts and words are punished. The world around us is for some people full of cameras to watch us because of wrong doing. What a pity when God is so much more as a father is so much more potentially than a punisher and supervisor. God can be a fellow and a shielder. He can be a next door neighbour. He can give comfort and wise counsel like no other. He has a precious beloved Son who He raised from the dead having sent Him to provide us with a sacrifice to seal a new covenant. His Son can mediate between us and God and between God and us to provide partnership in life with God and the promise of visits from time to time of the Holy Spirit from God who establishes us as a family or household of God with true permanence. This is if we put our wrong doing aside and grow to love God more and more and love those He sends.
