OUR FATHER



A missionary was teaching a heathen woman the ‘Lord's Prayer’.  When he got to the end of the first clause, "Our Father which art in Heaven," she stopped him.

"If God is our Father," she said, "that is enough. There is nothing now to fear."

And to one whose life was haunted by the constant dread of countless evil spirits that was a sweet message indeed.

Jn 1:12 (GW): “However, he gave the right to become God’s children to everyone who believed in him.”

“Prayer means rushing to the Father as His child. It means asking and receiving, loving and thanking Him.” -  Basilea Schlink.
