I heard once that our earthly Father allows us to have right or wrong views of our Heavenly Father, which makes me so thankful that my Dad did so many things right.
If you have a hard time knowing our Heavenly Father as your Father, Dad, Daddy, knowing that His love for you is endless, knowing that all He is desires for you is good, etc.... then I would encourage you to check out one of Mark Stibbe's books.
Here's a few quotes from him to wet your appetite.
Once you understand who He is, you understand who you are.
Our desire as children of God should be to seek a history has been healed, an identity that is sealed, and a destiny that's been revealed.
We are called first to be lovers not leaders.
The church isn't called to be politically correct but prophetically direct.
The greater you know your identity the greater authority you live in.
God is primarily after relationship not your prayer list (He already knows them).
You can spend loads of time in counselling but one moment in the presence of the King changes everything.
As a people we have to move from nice to dangerous.
Knowing the Father's heart isn't a passing fade it's a permanent foundation.
Familiarity can produce apathy in the world.
Many Christians are just enough saved to go to Heaven but not enough to bring in the Kingdom of Heaven.
I mean, phew....just pick one and mull over it for awhile! :)
