father
"Do not think that I have come to bring peace on earth; I have not come to bring peace, but a sword.
And call no man your father on earth, for you have one Father, who is in heaven.
Or what man of you, if his son asks him for bread, will give him a stone?
What therefore God has joined together, let not man put asunder."
And he arose and came to his father. But while he was yet at a distance, his father saw him and had compassion, and ran and embraced him and kissed him.
And he said to him, `Son, you are always with me, and all that is mine is yours.
And he arose and came to his father. But while he was yet at a distance, his father saw him and had compassion, and ran and embraced him and kissed him.
As the Father has loved me, so have I loved you; abide in my love.
May the God of hope fill you with all joy and peace in believing, so that by the power of the Holy Spirit you may abound in hope.
We know that in everything God works for good with those who love him, who are called according to his purpose.
