"The other night I was listening to WHI. I can't even remember the topic of the episode, and if I remember, I will post it later. But one of the things that was said, is very important to remember in terms of roles in relationships. We should not think of a role in terms of someone who fills that role and has failed, but by God's standard. For instance: God is our Father: He has never failed: His love endures forever, His compassion does not fail, His will is always good toward us, He never forsakes us. The standard is set high, not low. When we do that, we retain the dignity and character of God, rather than placing our subjective experience of that role onto God. God sets the standard, not the human demonstration of that role."
One of my friends posted this the other day on facebook and it was a good reminder for me. I often pray to see God rightly, to love and trust Him for who He really is.
