The Best of Fathers
What makes Jehovah the best of fathers?
He carries us as a loving mother
carries his newborn child.
He knows us intimately
and cares for us unwaveringly.
He welcomes our expressions in prayer
responding with utmost wisdom
out of deep compassion.
He discerns the meaning behind our words,
words we may not speak,
tears we may refuse to cry.
He sent a perfect model, a perfect brother,
the very best he could afford to give.
We can wake to another day
with peace of mind and a bright future hope,
let alone everlasting life.
Despite sin and imperfection
He invites us to call him
"Jehovah" and "Father",
preferring to be such
than a punisher or executioner.
Jehovah teaches us personally
through creative works.
Vast power, yet complete control.
Intricate details of objects
too small for our minds to imagine, or
so immense that we appear as small.
Overwhelming it is, then, to contemplate
how unlimited Jehovah's hand is for us.
What makes Jehovah the best of fathers?
He can train a human father to
imitate himself,
instilling within him the trust
to raise a child- a miracle alone-
to love Jehovah—the best of fathers.
