Daddy's Here?

John 1:18 No man hath seen God at any time; the only begotten Son, which is in the bosom of the Father, he hath declared [him].

None of us have ever seen God but we know that he is working in our lives and the lives of those around us. None of us have ever seen the wind but we can see its work as it moves through the trees and over the fields. We can not see it but we can feel it.

When Allison was only 1 year old she started trying to talk. Because she could not see us she doubted our presence even when were sometimes right next to her. She learned very quickly to say Mommy's Here? Daddy's Here? Many times it would break my heart to know that she would become frightened that we had left even when we were inches away. Over and over I replied to her in love and said "Daddy's Here".

To the child of God who is doubting the presence of your Heavenly Father remember these words....."I will never leave you nor forsake you". When your heart cries out for the presence of the Father know that his heart is yearning for you to know his unyielding presence. When like Peter you feel the wind blowing hard against your face, when you can only see the waves, when you no longer see Him......remember, "Daddy's Here"!

Mat 14:31 And immediately Jesus stretched forth [his] hand, and caught him, and said unto him, O thou of little faith, wherefore didst thou doubt?
