| + | Sometimes people analyse religion and they interpret the human desire for a heavenly | ||
| + | father as a projection of their elementary experiences when they were infants. And indeed, | ||
| + | this relationship is very important and there is a lot you can compare. But the atheistic | ||
| + | logic comes to the wrong conclusions since they do not know God, the eternal father. Our | ||
| + | human fatherhood and motherhood is the projection, coming from the eternal God, the | ||
| + | creator, the beginning and the end! | ||
| + | |||
| + | The good news: there is a heavenly father! God is there. And more good news: God loves | ||
| + | us as a true father and mother would do. He is interested in our life, in your life and | ||
| + | my life. He wants to live with us. He wants to go with us. He wants us to prosper, to | ||
| + | discover a fantastic world, to be free and full of love ourselves. | ||
| + | The New Testament is called good news. In the heart of this good news is the fatherhood | ||
| + | of the eternal God, the motherhood of the creator. In Christ Jesus he rebuilds the | ||
| + | bridges which humans have torn down, he confirms his care and his justice at the same | ||
| + | time. We are invited to discover this heavenly father ... what a story! | ||
