The relationship between a man and his Father can never be fully understood by onlooker’s.  Sure there are those with worldly knowledge that may make educated speculation upon the inner mechanisms or chemical interactions.  Only a man and his Dad can completely comprehend that special bond of creation that they share.  There are even those men who have never taken time to investigate, fathom and expand their own relationship with their Father.  This provides a quandary, being the sole individual with the capacity to fully understand and cultivate such relationship then not employing that unique ability seems foolhardy.  Why wouldn’t a man engage his own gifts and entitlements as a son when that process is the only path to maturity, security and deeper understanding in this lifetime?  Do we wish to know or don’t we?  Which side is the real face of the coin?  How else but through investigation, practice and retention do we gather the Father’s wisdom?

How does a man get to know his Father?  Isn’t time spent with your Dad the only way to really know Him?  Sure we are related but that is entirely different then having a deep understanding of what that relationship means.  Raw materials possess the potential for riches but it is the refinement which defines and emancipates their true value.  Sure you are loved by your Father when you come into this world, but when and how do you actually love Him?  It is through the process of passing through this life that we become close to our Father.  Seeing that he never leaves, never avoids, always forgives while continuing to guide us to maturity through a firm disciplinary hand and counsel.  Isn’t that something that we should want and pursue?  Don’t you want the best that this life can produce?  Can you imagine something better than having an entirely honest fellowship with your Father?  I can’t.
