"Our Father..."

"Our Father which art in heaven."
Our Father-Mother God all-harmonious.

"Our Father"! This is Christ Jesus talking - and he is including us - all of us - in his family. He is inviting us to accept his Father as also our Father, that we are part of His divine Family.

When Jesus said "Our" - he didn't just mean those random people who happened to be listening to him during his Sermon on the Mount. No. He's talking about the kind of "Our" that includes everyone in the universe. And so yes, that means it includes you - no matter what, no matter if you're good, bad, or indifferent. Jesus' prayer includes you.

Don't believe it?

Think about something else Jesus said about God:

"He makes His sun rise on the evil and on the good, and sends rain on the just and on the unjust."

That pretty much includes everyone, doesn't it?

God's love is unconditional. It pours out on everyone and everything like rain and sunlight. The only difference is in people's willingness to accept it!

So think about this first verse of Jesus' Prayer: "Our Father...." Think about what it means about God. What it means about you. What it means about how Jesus would see you right here, right now: loved, cared for, included in His family.

What a gift we all have been given by Jesus in his Word "Our Father." To know God, divine Love, as our Source, our Parent, our Heredity, our Family.

Do you feel His warm sun shining down on you? Do you feel His cool nurturing rain of Love?

Are you accepting it?

It's yours if you do.

It's even yours if you don't.

"Our Father which art in heaven."
Our Father-Mother God, all-harmonious, ever-present, all-inclusive, all-embracing, unconditionally Loving you right here, right now.
