God and Parents

Why is it that God wants us to honor our parents? Have we ever thought about how we treat our parents is how we more than likely treat God? God is called our Heavenly Father that is what He is. How do we treat our earthly parents; is there a difference between the two?

What do we do with our parents? Keep them in the dark, try to get something from them though we don’t necessarily want to spend the time with them that they request – not demand but request, we don’t want their opinions though they have experience on our side instead we look to our peers who have only minutes over us in life experiences. Are your parents just a voice of the past or are they a real part of your present and future. Your parents are not God but they are a picture God has put in front of you as an example of how God wants a relationship with us.

God knows our name…God adopted us and calls us sons & daughters…God will not leave us no matter what we have done. Our parents are not perfect but if you are willing to deceive, steal, ignore, and push away those who have known us from our first breath then what are we going to do with a God that we have not seen though He know us from the first moment that we started the path to be who we are…He knew us from the first thought HE had of us and at that moment He called us His.
