You know what’s funny.

As I listen to my crying baby in the other room…

Just thinking.

She makes no distinction between the concept of servant and the concept of leader.

To her they are one and the same. She just says. Dad.

“But the greatest among you shall be your servant.”
‭‭Matthew‬ ‭23‬:‭11‬ ‭TLV‬‬

Dad… being the one who I love and adore. The one who I listen to.

The one that feeds me, disciplines me, forgives me, the one who protects me from those big nasty dogs.

““Therefore, pray in this way: ‘Our Father in heaven, sanctified be Your name. Your kingdom come, Your will be done on earth as it is in heaven. Give us this day our daily bread. And forgive us our debts as we also have forgiven our debtors.”
‭‭Matthew‬ ‭6‬:‭9‬-‭12‬ ‭TLV‬‬

I am NOT God, but my role as Dad is one of the closest comparisons for how I am to relate to God.

“At that hour the disciples came to Yeshua, saying, “Who then is greatest in the kingdom of heaven?” And He called a child to Himself, set him in the midst of them, and said, “Amen, I tell you, unless you turn and become like children, you shall never enter the kingdom of heaven. Whoever then shall humble himself like this child, this one is the greatest in the kingdom of heaven. And whoever welcomes one such child in My name, welcomes Me.”
‭‭Matthew‬ ‭18‬:‭1‬-‭5‬ ‭TLV‬‬
