“I am coming to proclaim Myself the Father of all and the most tender of fathers, in order to transform your love, which has become distorted by fear.” (Message from God the Father to Sister Eugenia Ravasio).
Our love for our heavenly Father should come from a free and trusting heart. Perhaps in the past, the preaching in our church sometimes placed too much emphasis on the consequences of a sinful life. This can allow fear to take root in our relationship with God, making it difficult to see God’s true image and even distorting it. The Little Book of the Father repeatedly references this, as does today’s text. The sentence above is immediately preceded by the Father’s emphasis that missionaries speak of God as far as they know Him, and adds: “But I assure you, you do not know Me as I am.”
