Because God loves us, he lets us know exactly how to have access to him.

Loving fathers give their children a sense of their history.

Not only is it mind-blowing that God would consider me - us - worthy of his love, but it's flat-out incomprehensible that God would give us his wisdom, compassion, guidance, and comfort by giving us his Word. It's totally humbling and such an honor. Thank you Lord!

God is our loving Father who loves his children perfectly. So, every part of his Word is an expression of his love to us.

God's Word does provide life lessons to teach us how to live. And it gives us beautiful poetry that gives voice to our human experience. And, yes, it does give us clear boundaries of what we should and shouldn't do so we can live our best lives.

Loving fathers give their children boundaries so they won't get hurt and can live with peace and purpose.

It was Scripture that I had hidden in my heart that quickly came to mind when my frustration felt stronger than my faith.
