Do we yet know God as Father? Is this knowledge imprinted on our minds and hearts? Do our emotions sometimes doubt it? Have we ever been lost in His kind embrace? Have we heard His Spirit in us crying out, “Abba Father”? The Spirit and the Son seek to draw us toward the Father’s full embrace. Meditation explores it, and our prayers should affirm it. When earthly fathers fail and mothers forsake, yet He will not forget or forsake us. Embrace your Father. His arms are open!
“Pray, then, in this way: ‘Our Father who is in heaven’.” Matthew 6:9a (NASB)
