DEAR GOD: You’re Our Abba Father~

 

abba

What gives us the right to call God “Father?”

We are His children. He is our Creator.  His Son redeemed us…We are His and He is ours.

Our Abba Father loves us unconditionally.  He wants us to speak with Him, to trust Him, and to hold on to Him and be secure in realizing He’ll never let us go.  His hands of grace touch us gently…yet His hold is strong and steady.

Being joined with Him and being dependent upon Him is what He wants…go to Him for all decisions, to pray of things, to listen and to comprehend His commands, and the purpose in which He has created us.

The inheritance of being “joint heirs” due to Christ redeeming us is one of greatness!  One in which we should rejoice and indulge in the luxury of being part of a royal family. Kings of kings. Lord of lords.  Hallelujah!

To call God “Abba Father” is to know peace and to rejoice in His presence and love.

To call God “Abba Father” is to settle into a sense of security that with Him all things are possible.

To call God “Abba Father” is to realize that He is our highest order of Sovereignty, our Omnipotent and magnificent One and only King.

Being a part of such greatness and to have Him reigning over us night and day and never ceasing to watch over us in this lifetime, and the one to come is to know peace.

And not peace as the world gives us, because the world can and will cause trouble and anguish.  But as Jesus said, “Peace I leave you, My peace I give you; not as the world gives do I give to you. Let not your heart be troubled, neither let it be afraid…” (John 14:27)

So call out to Abba Father—give Him thanks—and recognize and embrace the truth of His love. Amen!
