I heard someone say the other day, “My mother is always happy to see me!” I wonder if that meant that there were others who weren’t happy to see him.

    That’s a sad thing to think about, but it’s true. Some children are not happy to see their fathers come home. Some wives are not happy to see their husbands come home. I hope it’s not you.

    But there is someone who is always happy to see you, and that’s God—your real Father. He loves you more than anyone else, even your mom. Because He knew you even before she did! And He loves you, just like you are. He’s always near, He’s always waiting for you to come to Him. Come home.

    So if you’re facing the wrong direction, and you can’t see Him, turn around and be surrounded by His love completely!
