It might be hard for some of us to relate to God as a father because our human fathers were less than perfect and perhaps unloving. But our heavenly Father is perfect and totally loving and forgiving. He made each of us unique and special. Our heavenly Father wants the best for each of us.

Faith is an act of the will that accepts the relationship with the Divine as the basic fact of my life. But it is only the gift of courage that allows me to live out that relationship. Courage is an absolute requirement, as the world we live in today does not support the relationship of faith.

When we live in a society that gives very little importance to God, it can be challenging to remain faithful to our beliefs. Our faith is the light that guides us through darkness. Jesus said in Luke 17:6, "If you have faith the size of a mustard seed, you would say to this mulberry tree, be uprooted and planted in the sea, and it would obey you."
