He’ll Catch You
A father you can’t trust isn’t a very good father.
The post He’ll Catch You appeared first on Key Life.
Steve Brown: I have a friend whose father, when my friend was little, put him on a high chair and said, "Jump, son." When my friend jumped, his father stepped back and let his son hit the floor. "Son," the father said to my friend, "let that be a lesson to you: never trust anyone."
My friend never again trusted his father. I have two fathers: a biological one and a divine one, who have always caught me when I jump. A father you can't trust isn't a very good father. I have one who tried and was good at it; the other one was perfect. I'm Steve Brown. You think about that.

We’re phony, afraid and sinful, and the pressure of keeping it all together is overwhelming. Frankly, it’s killing us and hurting those we love. God always recognizes us. He sees behind the masks we wear and the hidden agendas that drive us. It does no good for you to tell God that you're sick when you're drunk, that you love him when you don't, or that you didn't steal and eat an apple... with apple juice dripping down your chin. So sometimes (not always) we're reasonably honest with God, but it will be a cold day in a hot place before most of us will be fully honest with anybody else. God, of course, isn't that safe, but his job description is love. The rest of the world scares the spit out of us.
