Hi: Prodigal, nice car!<\/p>\n

Prodigal: Thanks, but it is not mine but my friend’s Alyson car.<\/p>\n

Hi: Nice license plate, is she a Daddy’s girl?<\/p>\n

Prodigal: You know she loves her mom but there is something she just loves about her Daddy. She looks like her Daddy also and if I can add has some of that stubbornness of her Dad \ud83d\ude42<\/p>\n

Hi: I am a little bit of a Daddy’s girl.<\/p>\n

Prodigal: Really?<\/p>\n

You know I can talk football with my Dad and we enjoy that as our time and we love to joke around. When I think of someone who is a Daddy’s girl. I think of someone who loves more then anything their Dad. I think of someone who looks up to their Daddy. I think of someone who trust and respects their Daddy. I think of someone who wants to spend time with their Daddy. <\/p>\n

I love my Dad here on earth but I also want to be counted as a Daddy’s girl for my spiritual father, My Lord and Savior. We don’t all have this type of relationship with our Dads but we can have this type of relationship with God. I think though we hold back because we do not trust God like we should. We try to base our trust of God on our experiences with trust of human beings. We then hold back our trust and never develop that (Daddy’s girl) relationship. Here let me add the words of Catherine Marshall. She seems to make the point clearer.<\/p>\n

I have come to believe that only if we can depend upon the Creator as a God of love (not an obscure, ethereal love, but love as you and I know it) shall we have the courage and confidence to turn our affairs over to Him. Hannah Smith once wrote this pithy sentence: “Perfect obedience would be perfect happiness, if only we had perfect confidence in the power we were obeying.”
\nWhat builds trust like that in the Creator? Only knowing Him so well-His motives, His complete good will-being certain that no pressures will make Him change, Knowing Him a long enough time to be sure of these things.
\nThere are many persons who claim that they have broken through to that kind of knowing-from the Apostle Paul down through spiritual adventurers in every century, even to our day. “I know whom(not what) I have trusted,” is Paul’s ringing assertion,” and I am certain that he is able to keep what I have put into his hands.”<\/em><\/p>\n

What lack of trust in our Father is causing you to not fully Obey our Father? He has been leading you, now it is time for you to take that step. Trust Him, he is not like those people who have let you down.<\/p>\n

2 John 1:6
\nAnd this is love: that we walk in obedience to his commands. As you have heard from the beginning, his command is that you walk in love.<\/p>\n
