Is The Father Just A Genie?

Is The Father Just A Genie?

Is the Father above just a genie
That I go to with my list
Every time I need something
My prayer is like a wish?
Just rub the magic bottle
When my life is in a jam
And poof, everything is better
By the power of the great I Am?
What happens when this genie
Doesn’t do just like I ask
Do I throw away the bottle
And say, “He just can’t handle my task?
Well the Father above isn’t a genie
To be at my beck and call
He is much, much more than that
And in my life can handle it all.
His love is never ending
And He sees what’s up ahead
To give me what I’m needing
Not just what I want instead.
He wants more than my wishes
My life for Him to give
To love like He has shown me
And a relationship with Him to live.
So when I just want to rub that bottle
Instead I will seek His face
Write His Words upon my heart
And by His side I’ll take my place.
