An Abraham Letter to a friend

Hello my brother Abraham
Yeah I know you are larry but as I read Romans I see you as Abraham.
Look at Romans chapter 4 start around verse 12 . Abraham was claimed faithful by what he watched GOD doing . He was willing to live in faith of what GOD was doing for him and trust that perfect father to take care of him.
It says that he lived this way long before the promise came true. The promise of GOD required nothing for Abraham to do.
It was GOD saying I will put everything together for you. Your job, is that you get the joy of sitting on an old apple crate and watch me do it. Now I will show you things to do when I want you to, but your job is to stay on that crate and watch me do what I do best. And that is loving you with all my heart so stay on the box and have fun seeing that it is I who am alive and living this day in real time with you.
And right there in Romans it says that Abraham entered into this relationship with his heavenly Papa and believed and trusted and rested and let his Papa be his papa.
It is also clear that it wasn’t because Abraham was such a good man it was because GOD wanted to do it for Abraham. Like a good Papa he loves to give good gifts to his children.
Abraham was to simply embrace what GOD does. The fulfillment of the promise depended entirely of Abraham keeping himself away from what GOD was doing and only responding to GOD when he was asked.
The greatest freedom of being a Christian is the freedom we get from being free from ourselves.
GOD loves to pick nobody’s like Abraham is what I see this verse 17-18. You and I are nobodies in and of ourselves.
GOD stepped in when the situation was hopeless this dude was 100 years old, cranking out a kid was pretty much a bet only a fruitcake would take on. But between the lines of this story when I ask GOD show more what is going on he says it’s not rocket science Ted, we enjoyed each other he knew I loved him not just with head but with his heart we lived together we talked to together. He looked at me when he loved me, he could see in my face that I not only wanted what was best for him he also could tell that I was capable of handling anything present and future and not even break a sweat. Abraham decided to live with me not base on what he could do but on what I promised I would do for him. His reassurance was only a glance away, I was always there. When he lived looking at me all those years waiting he changed, instead of discouragement it got the point of when it happens it will happen it will be great when that day comes but I am enjoying this day with papa and that’s a mighty fine thing!
Larry look at the last part of chapter 4 it’s not just for Abraham it’s for us as well.
You want a new spin on GOD’s heart? Every time you see the word Faith change it to relationship with GOD and it will show you his heart. The sacrifice Jesus gave us on the cross allowed us to have this type of wonderful relationship with our heavenly father.
You are so known and loved, he is not worried about your how big your difficulties are in fact it excites him that you are looking to him to save you. He really gets off on being the redeemer of hopeless frantic yeahoos like you and I.
Our Papa is saying come see as you live in me the still waters of who I am.
As you look at me how much I love you, see also that I really do have enough marbles in my head and a pretty handy magic wand to handle your life's situation.
Larry I love you ,I want you to not only enjoy me but also this day, go and have fun loving on others, open your heart wide, you may not have money to huck around but you do have all the love and caring and kindness and laughter and silliness that I have stuck in you.
I will show you how to be a little carefree kid in a busy life. I will show you how to see life with me.
I giveyou permission to place all the responsibilities on me to figure out solutions.
I give you back just being Larry, not caretaker of the universe.
We will walk out this day together and it amidst the busyness I will show you that the birds still chirp when I swing spring back around again.
I am saying is that I love you with a love that is not only personal but able to do far more than you could think or do by yourself. Hmmmm I have heard that somewhere before.
I sure love you. Abraham’s Papa is Larry’s Papa too!
