This quote is embossed on a t-shirt someone gave me for my birthday some years ago, and the phrase is true. Though I had gone to church much of my life I did not have a relationship with the God of Heaven. He was not my Heavenly Father. Then one day a friend began to talk to me about my need for that relationship. He shared with me how we have all sinned and fallen short of God’s perfection, and how the payment for that failure was death and condemnation. Then he shared with me that God loved me so much He gave His one and only Son as a substitute for me, and not only me but whoever would believe and respond to His gift of grace. That His Son Jesus willingly laid down His life and took the punishment for my sins as well as the sins of the world. God then being satisfied that the sin debt had been paid raised Jesus from the dead. So at that moment in time, on a Tuesday morning in Belmont, Michigan seated in a ’57 Ford, the God of Heaven became my Heavenly Father as He drew me to Himself. I bowed my head and my heart and asked and received Jesus Christ as my Savior and Redeemer. How about you?
