God is our Father by His grace and mercy. He is the perfect example of what a father should be - loving, nurturing, providing, protecting, and caring. As our Father, He calls us His own and desires that we come to Him in faith and trust. He listens to our prayers, offers guidance when we are lost, comforts us in times of sorrow, and rejoices with us in times of joy. He lavishes us with unconditional love despite our faults and flaws. God is an ever-present force that provides hope in even the darkest hours and reminds us that He alone is sovereign over all things - both seen and unseen.
