The ever presence quality.

God commits to our lives from the beginning to the creation of our souls to their transcendence to eternal life. Literally for ever.

At NO point does God come to us and tell us:

"Look umm, kid your mother the church and I are not really working out. You know our relationship is not growing the way that I really would like it to, she is not a fruitful as she used to be if you know what I mean and I am getting tired of her doubting my leadership all the time, she doesn't bring me flowers or sing me love songs like she used to. And please don't get me started on the carnal relations... but anyway we are going to take some time to think about what we are doing and whether we should be together anymore..."

"You know how it goes I gotta be me and keeping it 100 she is hampering my whole master of all creation vibe with the continuous questions, disobedience and second guessing. So yeah basically dude I'm Audi unless you can convince her to change like on the real and immediate..."

"Good luck with whatever happens next for you personally - I'm sure you and your Mama will figure it out."

"And remember this is not because you were a bad kid or anything, or that you left anything undone...sometimes people just grow apart and that is what happened with me and your Mama the Church."

God committed to his Abrahamic Seed (through Christ we believers in him are heir to those promises of increase) blessings increase and the leadership of Jesus Christ in PERPETUITY even when we are wrong as we can be. He did not write a contract with an escape clause. he did not take us on as a starter wife with the hopes that maybe a better group of folks might come around to hook up with. (Gen 12:1-3, Gen 22:12-17)

As a result Fathers we must commit in the same way to bless our families with our deepest connection and presence for permanent not just while it is fun and everyone is cute, thin, obedient and well rested. A real father is committed to stay permanently even if legal relationships have to change Fathers do not cease having the responsibility to their Children and Wives. Even if the family is scattered and in bondage while exiled to a foreign land we must still maintain a connection so that we can hear the pained cry of our people and we can answer when we are called to.

Be ever present. That is your job.
