Oh My Father, hymn # 292, is a hymn of hope.

We often travel through life wondering about our origins, waiting for some sign of comfort that we are indeed divine sons and daughters of a loving Heavenly Father.  When I was young, I would gaze up at the stars wondering and contemplating, knowing somehow, that somewhere within me, there was a terribly faded memory of belonging that I knew I missed, but did not know from where.

When I learned who I was, a loved daughter of heavenly parents, both of whom had expectations of me returning to them when I finished my growth on earth; the heavenly home from where I first resided; and where I was destined to return when my morality fulfilled itself; I finally found the answers to the questions I had sought after during my youth.

Oh My Father, Hymn 292, aptly communicates the inner searching of the soul, the testimony of discovering divine parentage, and a hope of returning, someday, to our place of origin, among loving parents and family in a glorious heavenly realm.

I hope too that my divine parents will be happy to see me and that I will have completed the course I set out to do, as imperfect as I am, and that I, too, can be greeted with ‘mutual approbation’.
