Summary
Seeing God correctly is essential to centering your life around him and his presence. Many of us have a tainted view of earthly fathers, but today God wants to renew your view of him as your perfect heavenly Father. As we grow in understanding of God’s perfect love and relation to us, may centering your life around his presence come naturally.
Our Scripture for today comes from 1 Corinthians 8:6, and today's worship is Good Good Father by Housefires featuring Pat Barrett.
