Going to church over the weekend brought my attention to Father's Day, where in Australia, it's celebrated in September.

Ps. Alun Davis preached a great message about being the one (Luke 17:11-19). Where there will come a point in our lives where we have to make a choice to either be the one, or to stay in the crowd. To be the one that honours God. Like David, who stood out and even when the king shrank back. Like Andrew, who was the one that brought Peter to Jesus and thus became the rock on whom God will built His church on. Like Moses, like Paul, like Jesus. The one.

But, the part that struck me was this; When the disciples asked Jesus how they were supposed to approach God, bearing in mind that they didn't knew anything about God except what they knew from the old testament, where the priest have to represent the people to step into the temple, and God would speak to them through a loud voice, a thunderous cloud or a burning bush. Where God is Yahweh, the One who created the earth. So, when the disciples asked Jesus how then should they approach this God He's been telling them about. Jesus answered in a way that would blow their mind! He said, 'This is how you should come before God, "Our Father in Heaven..." Our Father. Our Dad! The God of all creation, who desires His children to call Him...

Dad.

Being Father's Day also brought most of our attention to Ps. Matt Fielder, who is our university pastor and he's very much a father figure for most of us in the planetUni discipleship. We decided to buy him a trip to Falls Creek. I made him a Father's Day card on behalf of all of us and this was how it looked like:















I enjoyed designing the card, even though I only slept at 5.30am that night before. But being able to show the appreciation and gratitude to someone who poured so much into my life and also the life of others is an honour indeed.

Father's Day reminds me of Dad in Heaven. And it brings a smile to my face knowing that He's a God who's madly in love with me.

Dad, I love you!

Dad!
