“God is interested in the achievement of His purpose in my life. This is beautifully taught us by Christ in the example He gives of a wicked father’s interest in his children. He says, “If you, evil as you are, know how to give good gifts to your children, how much more will your Heavenly Father give the Good Spirit to those who ask Him” (Luke 11:13). Even as the painter is interested in his masterpiece and will not cast it into the fire, so Our Heavenly Father is interested in us who are the masterpiece of his visible creation and does not wish to cast us in the fire of hell. If you should have had the misfortune of soiling that masterpiece with serious sin in His very service, God does not want to cast you out. If you should have had the misfortune of becoming a prodigal…one who has wandered away….not physically but spiritually from the embrace of your Heavenly Father, he will still have for you the interest of the Father of Fathers.” ——An excerpt from “A Tryst with the Holy Trinity” by Frederick T.
