Big Cotton by Stephen H Yafa

God the Father has been so maligned by everybody in our world. We speak of God as the big man upstairs who carries a big stick, just waiting for us to get out of line, and a god who never rewards but only punishes. This, unfortunately, is the god of our religions as portrayed by most of all our religious systems of today. But is this the real God and Father of our life who decided, for no reasons at all, to create a man who would have all the fullness of Almighty God in him and who says he will provide the very best for us? And who said, My son, you are always with me, and everything I have is yours (Luke 15: 31)?

Will the real God please show himself to us? Well, the God presented here, who, for no reason other than his desire and his willingness to share his great love with man that he would create, did so, knowing there is absolutely nothing that this man or any man could ever give back to him. Presented here is God whose only love and whose only desire is to share himself with his man. Not only that, but this God and Father will also fill this man with all the fullness of himself in his son, and he has said so (Col. 2:9 and Eph. 1:22). As you get to know him here, his Holy Spirit will reveal much more of himself to you
