My "FATHER" and I

With a plurality of children, it is a wise father who makes each feel like he or she is an only child. Our Heavenly Father does this with every one of His children. In our Father’s House we are told that He “…will give [to him that overcometh] a white stone, and in the stone a new name written, which no man knoweth saving he that receiveth it.”

Here is a relationship that is not only unknown, but unknowable. It is a peculiar and individual intimacy with God, which none other can ever know. Therefore, there can be no comparison among siblings, for no one knows, save the person themselves, what transpires between the Father and that individual. You might say it’s a little secret between God and His child.

As a family member I address Him as, “Our Father”; as an individual child, He is “My Father.”
