Tonight I was reminded/humbled/hit with the fact that my earthly father pails in comparison to my Heavenly one.
When my "dad" doesn't know my year in college -- my Heavenly Father knows every moment of every year.
When my "dad" doesn't know my favorite color -- my Heavenly Father knows the exact pigment of blue that lights up my life more than anything else.
When my "dad" doesn't know my favorite type of birthday cake -- my Heavenly Father knows just the right proportion of ingredients and is eating some with my Gran & Papaw in Heaven.
When my "dad" doesn't recognize the new color of my hair -- my Heavenly Father has counted each and every one on my head.
When my "dad" doesn't know that he is what causes my tears and my pain -- my Heavenly Father catches my tears and fills the pain with His everlasting joy.
And when my "dad" doesn't care to ask my hopes or my dreams (much less my major) -- my Heavenly Father has written those desires on my heart and knows exactly how i will fulfill those dreams & desires.
God has adopted all of the Fatherless and called them His children.
So no matter how lonely or depressed or sad you are because your earthly family isn't what it "should" be, know that it's exactly how God wants it to be used for His glory & that He has been the best Daddy that you could ever ask for.
I am blessed to have been given a Heavenly Father as well as an earthly second father.
