“`A beggar came asking for food. I told him to come around to the back door and asked him to sit on floor while I went in and brought the left- over food.
I brought him food & said, let’s pray. Now repeat after me, “Our Father in heaven”. He said, “Your Father in heaven”. I said.”No, say OUR Father in Heaven”. He again said, “Your Father in Heaven”!!!
This irritated me no end! I asked why do you say ‘Your’ father when I say ‘Our’ Father?’
He said, “Sir, it’s like this. If I say Our Father, then we both become brothers. If we are brothers, you would invite me from the front door and not from back; you would ask me to sit on your dining table not on the floor; you’d also not give me stale food! Sir, somehow it’s not possible that we are sons of the same Father”!
He may be your Father, but he can’t be OUR Father!
Whose Father is He?
Whatsoever you do to the least of my brothers,
that you do unto me.
When I was hungry, you gave me to eat;
When I was thirsty, you gave me to drink.
Now enter into the home of My Father.
Whatsoever you do to the least of my brothers,
that you do unto me.
When I was homeless, you opened your door;
When I was naked, you gave me your coat.
Now enter into the home of My Father.
Whatsoever you do to the least of my brothers,
that you do unto me.
When I was weary, you helped me find rest.
When I was anxious, you calmed all my fears.
Now enter into the home of My Father.
Whatsoever you do to the least of my brothers,
that you do unto me.
It took a beggar to teach me the truth!!!“`
God becomes our Father if we do good to one another... By King kalizo.
