At the end of every day, we must keep on remembering that IT’S ALL OF GOD; everything that happens, is and it must happens as it’s supposed to happen because everything has a purpose on the ‘big-scale master-accomplishment’ that God our dad is doing.
Eventually everything is coming into ONE; and there will be one big family full of sons and daughters who are highly spiritually evolved and armed with great and unique personalities.
While it is true that we do not presently live together with God as a family, it is nevertheless, a fact that we are presently a member of God's family, kin, and race. And it's just a matter of time until we are all united as one Family of God:
"And I John saw the holy city, new Jerusalem, coming down from God out of heaven, prepared as a bride adorned for her husband. And I heard a great voice out of heaven saying, Behold, the tabernacle [God's habitation or dwelling place] of God is with men, and He will dwell with them, and they shall be His people, and God Himself shall be with them, and be their God" (Rev. 21:2-3)
"Ye shall be My sons and daughters, says the Lord Almighty" (II Cor. 6:16:18)
"Behold, what manner of love the Father hath bestowed upon us, that we should be called the sons of God: therefore the world knows us not, because it knew Him not. Beloved, now are we the sons of God, and it doth not yet appear what we shall be: but we know that, when He shall appear, we shall be like Him; for we shall see Him as He is. And every man that hath this hope in him purifies himself, even as He is pure" (I John 3:1-3)
Can you not feel an emotion, a longing in God's words when He speaks of the future He plans with His people? Well listen again: "And I heard a GREAT VOICE out of heaven..." Why a "GREAT" voice? Why not just a voice? Because this is a GREAT announcement by God Almighty. The Greek word translated "great" means "exceedingly, loud, mighty, high, strong." "BEHOLD, the tabernacle of GOD IS WITH MEN,..." "Behold, LO, listen, SEE." Why? Because God Almighty is going to make a grand and glorious announcement. He will make His HOME WITH MANKIND! God is coming to live with us. "...and He will dwell with them, and they shall be HIS PEOPLE..." "His" has a definition of "of him." These are "people of Him." They are of God's race and kindred and therefore they are "people of Him" -- of HIS RACE, not His "possessions" like so much chattel. "...and God Himself shall be with them, and BE THEIR GOD" (Rev. 21:2-3).
God did not create some kind of creature with higher intelligence than the plants and animals so that He could communicate with them. Humans are not just some kind of play things for God. God did not create some kind of aliens when He made us. We are the extension of His family, His kinfolk. We are God's CHILDREN -- we are the expansion of God's RACE! (‘Why God love us’ L.Ray Smith)
We are God’s children’s, and he is the best dad. Anything that we ask from him, he wants to give it to us as long as it’s good for us. Usually ‘descent fathers’ like when their sons are grateful and ask them reasonable things, they not only want to give them what they need but also the best of them, their most worthy character traits and personalities. Jesus said about descent fathers,
“If a son shall ask bread of any of you that is a father, will he give him a stone? or if he ask a fish, will he for a fish give him a serpent? Or if he shall ask an egg, will he offer him a scorpion?” (Luke 11:10)
Most fathers don’t dare to give poison animals to their sons--when they ask for food. Neither God our father would dare to give us an eternal experience of a literal hell of torture in real fire!--when what we need is spiritual nourishment. And the stupid excuse that some chose to reject God with their own “free-will” and therefore God will let them burn as they deserve, doesn’t apply no-more.
I think that for a man to be a dad worth his salt he would have to had a good amount of general knowledge, of patience, kindness, self-control and love, he would have to be ready to sacrifice for his daughter in no moment, provide her needs, teach her and correct her with much patience and kindness (with no expecting back), he would hurt with her on her afflictions and would show affection and kind words and inspire trust, also he would try his best to provide a safe emotional environment for her best development and he would surely spend quality times of sharing and enjoyment with her... NOW, if a human father can be able to get close to be a ‘descent dad’, God who is The Father of fathers, our all-powerful heavenly Father, Who is LOVE himself, He knows what He is doing by preparing, teaching and correcting each one of us in such a personalized manner, and yes I know… some sons suffer more than others, but they (or we) also gain more capacity for enduring more suffering and experience more joy! (plus, we are meant to learn from contrasts anyway).
And of course that God also suffers with us all along the way and He has the ability to understand us. I believe that the correction and the intensity of his correction are highly personalized because each of us will end up with unique skills and personalities but non-less with the same spirit.
“Behold, WHAT MANNER OF LOVE the Father hath bestowed upon us, that we should be called the SONS [AND DAUGHTERS] OF GOD” (1John 3:1)
