Our Father in Heaven,

Hallowed be Your Name. . .

Christianity is about the relationship between God and humankind. God the Creator becomes our Father. He lovingly takes on this parental role for all who accept Him. We notice the pronoun used here. Jesus the Son established God’s relationship to all.

We attempt to teach young children that God loves all he creates--whether or not He see that person as good. Sometimes we have to remind ourselves of God’s love for the person who sins but not the evil they are doing.

His children are to honor God’s name. Song writers remind us of this quite often, using such words as: “Wonderful, Awesome, Marvelous, and Blessed.” We honor Him by striving to keep His laws, following His teaching, and reading the Word. Praying and seeking the Wisdom he offers are also way of honoring God.
