And while there is great richness in seeing God maybe there is something valuable in thinking of God . Because for most of us it’s MOM who shows us what God’s love is like in . It’s MOM who shows us what is all about. It’s MOM who picked us up when life . It’s MOM who taught us that we counted even when we It’s MOM who is there to . and But what if we didn’t get that from MOM? What do we do if MOM isn’t here right now to show us that kind of love? Then we have an opportunity to receive healing from a GOD who’s love is the This is our opportunity to REDEEMER; a God who is PARENT; .
