REFLECTIONS on the Our Father — part 1

I don’t think calling God Father is a gender issue anymore . A Father is one who gives origin to, or brings forth into the world. So we are all fathers to our own experience. We are all the creators of our life. Whether you are doing it consciously or not, you are the creator of your life. Our aim is this church is that we do so consciously. That we become consciously aware of the creative process and aware that we can bring forth into our lives the events and conditions that we desire.

God, as Father is the great cause, the cause of all life. There is only one source from which all ideas and all living objects proceed and that is First Cause – God the Father. Jesus, the Great Example used the word Father in referring to the Creative Principle we call God. “It is not I but the Father within that does the work.” Father was a word understood by the people as the head of the household. Father stands for the head of our spiritual house or spiritual nature. The creative force, spiritual cause behind
all manifestation. E.H. said “The Spirit of God, which we think of as the Heavenly Father, is a Divine Presence.” We should honor that Presence every day.

Admittedly, not everyone has favorable father experiences. But all can take comfort today in the remembrance of their Heavenly Father. God loves without condition. There are no strings attached. It is understood in our teaching that God is Love. This means that God never withholds love and could not withhold love, because then God would not be God. Our perception however can cloud our view of reality. God loves everyone of us equally, as well as unconditionally, we need never be jealous or envious of anyone.

Reminds me of a story about a man who had grown up bitter, convinced his father loved his younger brother, but not him. That was an interpretation he had carried with him since he was seven years old – when he saw his father secretly give his brother a silver bar, and he didn’t get one. From that moment forward, an icy chill settled in between father and son, and eventually, communication ceased entirely. They hadn’t talked to each other in over ten years when the son decided to confront his father about that
long ago memory. To his total amazement, he found out the silver bar he remembered so well had been the foil from a stick of chewing gum, and that was the injustice – the perception around which He had built his entire life.
