The Father's Love Of Kindness

I therefore, the prisoner of the Lord, beseech you that ye walk worthy of the vocation wherewith ye are called… But unto every one of us is given grace according to the measure of the gift of Christ. Wherefore he saith, when he ascended up on high, he led captivity captive, and gave gifts unto men. Now that he ascended, what is it but that he also descended first into the lower parts of the earth. He that descended is the same also that ascended up far above all heavens, that he might fill all things. And he gave some, apostles; and some, prophets; and some, evangelists; and some, pastors and teachers; for the perfecting of the saints, for the work of the ministry, for the edifying of the body of Christ (Ephesians 4:1, 4: 7-12, King James Version)

A simple act of love towards another human being can change their entire life. “The Father loved him before the creation of the world, and the reason the father sends him is so that the Father 's love for him might be in others also.” (Reeves 2012) In context, he is talking about The Father (God) loving and sending him (Jesus) to spread the love of God throughout the world. Jesus did this noble duty through showing kindness to all, regardless of social class, race, stature, gender, or past sins. The Bible calls us to “Be imitators of God” in Ephesians 5:1. As we learned in the first part of this course, if we imitate God, we are imitating Jesus as well.

One major aspect of kindness, is the emotion of love. Through love, all three points of the trinity, the father, the son, and the spirit, can be connected. This connection gives us the triune God of perfection. Michael Reeves in his book Delighting in the Trinity states, "God is and always has been the embodiment of love." The fact of the trinity is the only way that God could have "always been" love. Creation has not always been in existence, so before that, God loved the trinity. When creation came into existence, God loved us. He taught us to love Him back, and in turn, to love one

I only work in Aviation Friday through Sunday. It’s just a part time occupation, secondary to my dental practice. In my typical workweek for flight, I do some flight instructing, depending on the students schedules; I also use my plane as a taxi service on various occasions. I never work Sunday mornings though. I believe that God is ultimately in control of everything and that He deserves our respect. He teaches us through our experiences and we need to connect to him for him to do this.

-What is the purpose or goal of X?

The purpose and goal of Flight Instructing is ultimately to glorify God. That is the goal of all careers. Flying is unique because it allows you to glorify God by exploring his creation and being able to see it from a rarely witnessed angle; from the air. -How does X make the world a better place?

Being something doesn’t make the world a better place. It’s what you do that makes a difference. If I were to somehow use my plane to save lives, the action would make the world a better place, not the fact that I am a flight instructor.
