Fatherhood has taught me more about God’s love than I could have ever imagined.

You see, the moment I held my son for the first time, everything changed.

Suddenly, I looked down as I held my baby in my arms, and I was filled with the purest love I’ve ever experienced.

There was nothing I wouldn’t do for him. He was mine. My only begotten son. Nothing else really mattered, because my son was in my arms.

He needed me and his mom. He was completely and utterly dependent on us.

You really can’t love someone in that way in any other circumstance.

The Holy Spirit revealed to me that this is how The Father sees Jesus.

And through Jesus, it’s how He sees us.

So, being in touch with just how flawed my love is, since I am merely human, I was instantly overwhelmed with awe at the perfect love of the Father.

How could He love me even greater than I love my child?

It’s miraculous. Despite my sin, He’s forgiven me and welcomed me into His family.

This is the heart of God. This is who Jesus is. This is the greatest news in history.

That Jesus loves us and made a way to reconcile us to Him.

Praise His name.

Did I make a huge mistake?

This is what I wondered when all of my friends were heading back to school for the fall semester, and I wasn’t.

I’d had little faith in university education for a long time, but I never thought I’d act on it.

Yet here I was, watching everyone else return to school as I was gearing up to start this niche program, Praxis.

During the two-week window between when I would have returned to school and the Praxis opening seminar, I had to wrestle with my new reality.

What am I doing?

It was a crucial moment in the story arc of my life.

I had to face this. I had to beat it.

If I couldn’t beat it, who knows where I’d be today?

After deep internal contemplation and wrestling, I arrived at the opening seminar.

And everything changed.

I was hooked. Completely and utterly converted. Praxis wasn’t just some program, or alternate path. It was a new vehicle to prosperity.

It radically changed my life.

I did not make a huge mistake.

The real mistake would have been sticking with the mainstream, refusing to step outside the status quo, playing the game of life by the pre-set (but not mandatory) rules of engagement.

If you (or someone you know) are questioning the status quo, don’t dismiss it.

Ask the question. Relentlessly pursue the answer.

No matter where you land, at least you’ll be able to say you gave it the ole’ “college-try” 😉.
