REMEMBER WHO YOUR DADDY IS

George Foreman is famous for many things: boxing champion, pitchman, grill guru, television celebrity, and, he named all five of his sons, George. When asked why he gave all his sons the same name, he usually quips something like, "If you’d been hit in the head as many times as me, you’d make life as simple as possible." But if pressed for an answer, He says, "I named my kids George because I want them all to remember who their daddy is." This is coming from a man who had an absentee father.

When we were lost in our sins, we also had an absentee father. Our pride, our vain ambitions, an unending quest for significance and a lust for material happiness; all make for a type of father who we can never please.

As Christians, we are called a part of the family of God, and we know who our Daddy is. Romans 8:13-17
