It's beautiful
All that the Father gives me will come to me, and I will not kick out anyone who comes to me. John 6.37
“Of Farm in Farm (Trademark)” is an annual meeting where the general public is welcomed locally in farms. Since 1996, this national event of the last weekend of April has been a great success... It is an opportunity to meet, during a weekend, operators who offer guided tours with a tasting of their products. During a visit, a 35-year-old farmer was explaining his job to us when his little boy interrupted him… He had great misfortunes to tell him ! Dad stopped his presentation, leaned down and listened patiently. He spoke to him and reassured him. The child left. A few minutes later, her daughter came to hug her legs and shyly confide her concern. Once again, the father paused fondly to listen to his child. I was in awe of his loving attention which took precedence over his professional enthusiasm… It was beautiful and touching !
In the gospel, I am also in awe of God who takes time to deal with men. He, the Father of the universe, neglects no one! Through Jesus Christ, we can speak to him, open our hearts to him. He welcomes those who come to him. He is always ready to listen to us, help us, advise us… His attention is beyond our comprehension. It's beautiful how he loves us !

6.37 All that the Father gives me will come to me, and I will not kick out anyone who comes to me.
6.38 For I came down from heaven to do not my will, but the will of the Father who sent him.
6.39 Now it is the will of the Father who sent me, that I should not lose any of them which he has given me, but that I raise them up on the last day.
6.40 For my Father's will is that everyone who sees the Son and believes in him have eternal life, and I will raise him up on the last day.
