The Father's Heart



As proof that you are children, God sent the spirit of his Son into our hearts, crying out, “Abba, Father!” So you are no longer a slave but a child, and if a child then also an heir, through God.
~Galatians 4:6-7



My child, do not be afraid! Do you really think that I have left you alone and orphaned? Not I! Do you really think I am an angry and distant God? Not I! I am your Father. Not a distant father, No! I am Abba – Daddy. The One who knows you. The One who loves you. The One who willed you – wanted you -  before time began. You are here so I can love you. All I want from you is your love. All else will follow. Love Me. Trust Me. My heart – my fatherly heart - yearns for the time when you will truly, deeply, know just how much I love you. I know this world is not easy. But do not fear - I am with you. I will stay with you from now until you draw your final breath. It is then that you will come to the place I have prepared for you in paradise. Until that time – the time when you will see Me face to face – I hold you, enfolded, in my strong arms. Let Me embrace you. Let Me lead you. Let Me love you. Do not fear!
