Many of my relatives and friends remind me of how much I look like my Dad.  I bear his facial features, his mannerisms, and his physical infirmities in ways I keep discovering.  I am thankful for the earthly father I had.  I pray that I will also develop the beautiful characteristics of my Heavenly Abba.  May His love find a path without resistance through my life.  May He count on me to show His kind of grace and His kind of mercy to those whose lives intersect mine.  May my earthly DNA be reshaped by the DNA of my Heavenly Father.  I know what that looks like because I have seen it in my Elder Brother, Jesus.
