Why do people reject the Holy Ghost? Why do people not hear that still small voice whispering into their ears? Why do people insist on living in their own realm and not ask Father for direction, guidance, and support? Will Father continue to whisper if His inspiration is not heeded?
Father's motivation is based upon His love and concern for each of us. He desires to help us through the difficult times and strengthen us when we must go through difficult challenges. He is our Father. He watches over us daily and knows when we need help. I am sure that often He just shakes His head in frustration as we ignore His loving direction.
Does that mean He quits directing us? Is His love ever lost or forgotten? Is His Fatherhood of us ever weakened or changed? Is He on vacation very often? Is He asleep so He doesn't know what is happening to us? Does He place someone else over us to advise Him when we need His help?
I have felt this day Father's love. There were a few challenges at work where I thought I was alone and tackling those demons with one hand behind my back. But as I really thought about the circumstances in which I found myself, meeting failure of a responsibility I had, that sweet loving feeling overcame me, touched my mind, softened my heart, and opened my eyes to know that He was still there, never did leave, and was watching over me to assure that I wasn't tested beyond my capability to endure and learn from.
I am so glad that Father will always be my Father. He will always be listening to me, even when I pause during the day, glance upward and ask for direction, and when I need some kind of energy boost to get through any circumstance. I fondly recall Tevya in Fiddler on the Roof pausing during his day and just starting talking with God. I have mimicked him often when I have needed some understanding or direction. Thanks be to God for always being there and loving me more than I know.
