He Cares
From “Back To The Fundamentals,” a story in the book “Came To Believe,” page 64;
“At one time, the great jurist Oliver Wendell Holmes was asked what his religion was. And he answered that his whole concept of God could be found in the first two words of the Lord’s Prayer.
So I got out a copy of the Lord’s Prayer and looked at it. The first word was “Our.” It didn’t say “your,” “my,” “her,” or “his.” It said, “Our Father…” He is the Father to all of us. He created every one of us.
I happen to be a father myself - one of the world’s worst, but no matter how sick or how bad I got in my days of drinking, I never once wished any harm to my own children. Nothing but the best for them! And I have to assume that this is what our Father wishes for us. He created us, and He cares what happens to us. He didn’t create me to die a drunk in an alley.”
He didn’t bring me (or you) this far to drop us on our heads!
