Where will you find a father like God, who can love you as He will love you; who can provide for you as He will provide for you? Perhaps you may be already deprived of your earthly parents: or if they still be continued to you, yet you may soon be deprived of them. But if the Almighty be your Father, He will be your Father for ever. He will never leave you nor forsake you. Your earthly parents, however strong may be their love to you, however anxious their desire of doing you good, can do but little for you. There are numberless evils from which they cannot protect you. There are innumerable blessings which they can never insure to you. But your heavenly Father, if indeed you take Him for your Father, is able and mighty to save, and to bless you to the uttermost.
