God has no grandchildren
God has no grandchildren. We count our generations, I remember my Grandfathers, my father, then of course me, my children and I do now have grandchildren. Each relationship is different. I didn't have much of a relationship with either grandfather, they knew me and I knew them. We didn't talk that much at least that I remember. My Father was my father, don't consider that to be a very good relationship either but there was interaction, both good and bad. My daughter and I still talk and I feel that relationship is probably the best of any intergenerational relationships I have or have had. My grandchildren may talk to me but I have to pursue the relationship. I feel they could care less. I love my children and grandchildren and have pleasant memories. I did have a good relationship with a father-in-law, and I felt he was really a father to me. There was talking back and forth, I could say what I thought and he would advise and encourage me. He was a good father-in-law. It lasted until the divorce and I pretty much felt I needed to move on. I also have a good relationship with a mother-in-law, I actually feel we are still friends even though another divorce ended the relationship between her daughter and I. Revelations 3:20 "Behold, I stand at the door, and knock: if any man hear my voice, and open the door, I will come in to him, and will sup with him, and he with me." I heard someone say this the other day, "God has no grandchildren" and I agree. God pursues us as he knocks on our hearts door. We have to respond and allow him in to our hearts, in order to have relationship with God. He doesn't force himself on us. He knocks and we can refuse or we can let him in. It reminds me most of a father / child relationship. He is all knowing Creator and designer of the universe. We need him to guide us, provide for us. We need his love and nurturing. But each generation has to find this relationship on their own. What my dad or grandfather had with God does not positively or negatively affect my own relationship. What I mean by that is, its personal, if grandfather and father had a good relationship with God it doesn't mean I will. If grandfather or father did not have a good relationship with God, it does not stop me from having a meaningful relationship with God. It is up to me what I do when God knocks on my hearts door. Its personal, I am not saying that those who traveled this road before me can't encourage or discouraged me. But in the end it is me and God, one on one. How I respond individually will dictate my relationship with God. There are no grandchildren with God, its each generation relating one on one with God. God bless, LVZ.
