And a voice from heaven said, “You are my dearly loved Son, and you bring me great joy.” Mark 1:11
The heavenly voice from above confirms the fact; if you have faith in God everything is possible. If you feel you are attached to God by knowing that He is with you and by being convinced that the Lord cares for you, then God finds joy in you also as He found joy in His own, beloved and Holy Son. However that gladness multiplies, when you are making an effort to allow yourself to do His will, like Jesus Christ did throughout his life. He never refused to take the path that his heavenly Father wanted him to take and so the Almighty revealed His glory.
One might say that a father and son relationships are deep, complex, purposeful, empowering and most of all gratifying as both the father and the son in a sense becoming one. Just think about your relationship with your father or the father figure in your life. There are memories that take you to teachable moments, where both you and your father had to concentrate and work hard to accomplish something together. I remember when I spent a few hours with my father after school when I was a first grader learning to read by practicing. I had no interest, I was too tired to concentrate to make out the letters of the alphabet, yet his commitment to change my negativity towards the task got me excited. On that afternoon I fell in love with reading, which love still exists today. My father was eager to help me and injected me with his passion to be persistent, but also methodical to reach the goal with him as one. We succeeded together; we were united in that happy moment, on the day when I became a reader. On every given day we are blessed to have a heavenly Father, who wants us to succeed with Him through our faith in the Savior. Let us not turn his joy away, but be part of it for as long as we live by taking up on the tasks He asks us to take.
Dear Lord, guide me with your steadfast love, so I can do your will each and every day. Amen.

A mennyből pedig hang hallatsztott: ,,Te vagy az én szeretett Fiam, benned gyönyörködöm.”
Az égi hang a fellegekből azt jelzi, hogy az Istenbe vetett hit által minden lehetséges. Ha az életedet Istenhez kötöd és minden pillanatban érzed az Isten közelségét, akkor az Úr nem csak vigyáz reád, de örömét is leli abban, hogy gyermeke vagy, mint ahogy azt tette a Szent Fiával, a Jézus Krisztussal. Az Atya öröme pedig megsokszorosodik akkor, amikor nem csak hiszel Istenben, de életedet úgy éled, hogy azt teszed, amit Isten kér tőled. ĺgy volt ez a Krisztussal is, aki soha nem tagadta meg az Atya akaratát, így az Isten örömében megszólította.
Van, aki úgy gondolja, hogy egy apa és a fia kapcsolata komplikált, mély érzéseken nyugszik, amiből erő, céltudatosság kovácsolódik, ami az apa és a fiú számára is értékké válik, hiszen szinte eggyé válnak ebben a folyamatban. Ha feleveníted a kapcsolatodat édesapáddal, vagy azzal, akire mint apára tekintesz, akkor bizonyosan tanulságos pillanatokat találsz a múltban. Egy olyan eseményt kell találj, amikor te is és az apukád is együtt próbáltatok egy közös célt elérni, miközben minden erőtöket mozgósítottátok. Én például emlékszem, hogy amikor első osztályos tanuló voltam az általános iskolában, egy délután leültem az édesapámmal gyakorolni az olvasást, amit nem igazán akartam megtanulni. Nem érdekelt, könnyen belefáradtam a betűk összerakásába, de mégis az apám szenvedélye és elszántsága, a fásultságomat átbillentette kíváncsiságba, szorgalomba. Azon a délutánon megszerettem a betűket és a mondatokat. Az édesapám öröme, hogy nekem segíthet, elárasztott engem is szenvedéllyel, hogy kitartó legyek, hogy tudatosan elérjük közösen a célunkat, ami egy volt azon a délutánon. Sikerélményünk volt, boldogok lettünk együtt azon a napon, amikor megtanultam olvasni. Mi mind áldottak vagyunk, hiszen életünk minden napján a mi Mennyei Atyánk azon munkálkodik, hogy sikeresek legyünk, amihez segítségül a hitünk vezet a mi Üdvözítőnk által. Munkálkodj azon, hogy végrehajts mindent, amit feladatul kaptál az Úrtól, hogy benned is gyönyörködhessen.
Drága Istenem, vezess engem a Te örök szereteteddel, hogy életem minden napján elvégezhessem a feladatot, amit reám bízol. Ámen.
