I am not an educated man. I am not a scholar. I am a simple guy who is simply intending to do the best I can with what God gives me. I share what God has given me because I must. I am driven to serve God as He leads me. As what was in the heart of Jesus, so it is in my heart to be about my Father’s business. Growing up, I had always wished that my father had owned a business so that I could have learned his business, known his business, and to have worked side-by-side with him in his business. I think my dad would have liked that, but it was not to be. However, my Heavenly Father has a business that He wants all His children to be a part of. I am His apprentice and ever shall be. He gives me work to do and I try to do it as best I can. Oh, I have a lot to learn. I try to always be diligent in trying to do His business as perfectly as possible. Of course, I never perform perfectly, but the Lord knows my heart. He is so gracious with me!
I must be about my Father’s business. My efforts are feeble, but my heart is right. And what is not right about me, my Father is correcting. I desire His correction. Family, it is good to work side-by-side with our Father. It is the best of all things! Working with Dad, it is oh so good! I love our Dad!
