Dad’s other hat is a crown

We will not meet God in the tent of good works, nor in that of guilt over evil deeds. God can only be encountered in the person of Christ. In Jesus, man is met, not by God the Father, but by our Father who happens to be God.

Our Father does not desire to be our venerated ruler, but acknowledged as our most affectionate relative. To this, how can one scarcely do other than to turn toward God, not of fear, but for a Father?
