Maximize Your Sonship

When I was growing up (Still growing, anyway), anywhere I entered in our town of residence, once I mentioned my dad's name, I became the centre of attraction. My class teacher once punished me in school alongside others because, according to him, we didn't sweep the classroom. I told him I swept my portion of two rows but he wouldn't listen. He caned me and my hand got swollen. When I got home and dad saw my hand, he screamed and asked me what happened. I told him, and the following day, he used his complimentary card to pen some few words to my teacher. All he wrote was: "Kindly let me know what this girl stole in school to have warranted such treatment that resulted in the disfiguration of her hand."
When I gave the card to my teacher, I smiled as I watched him go purple in the face. He wrote two sheets in response to dad's two lines. Then he started pleading with me to help him tell dad it was not intentional and that he was sorry he punished me alongside the rest despite my having fulfilled my part of the responsibility.

That was the last day he or any other teacher laid a finger on me in that school.
That was my earthly father's "covering".

How much more that of my heavenly Father?

 "...For he who touches you touches the apple or pupil of His eye..." - Zech.2:8
There's more to you than the you on the outside and the you in the physical.

You've got a heavenly Father who wants to throw His weight around for your sake.
Greater is He that's in you!

You are not fatherless!
Don't live in fear!

Maximize Your sonship!
Your Father owns the land,

The earth belongs to Him and the fullness thereof...
(Someone needed to hear this)
