I want you to understand that when we say this, that we're not ascribing human attributes to God. We don't first look at ourselves and say God is like us. Divine Fatherhood is not a reflection of human fatherhood, but vice versa.
Human fatherhood is a reflection of divine fatherhood.
And it's very important that you understand this because some people have had cruel fathers. Some people have had weak-willed fathers. When we say our Father we express his nature. He is a father to His children. This is His nature.
