A Father's Love

For you did not receive a spirit that makes you a slave again to fear, but you received the Spirit of sonship. And by him we cry, "Abba, Father."

Romans 8:15

Yesterday we celebrated Father’s Day. This morning, I am reminded of the love that our relationship with our earthly father has been created to model. Our relationship with our earthly father has been created to model the reality of who we are in Christ and how our relationship with Jesus reunites us at the very deepest level to our creator and spiritual Father who now lives inside. As I observe Paula’s relationship with her father I am always moved at the love that she has for him, the safety and protection that she feels in his midst and the unconditional and sacrificial love that Paul (Paula’s dad) has for his daughter. What an awesome earthly example my wife’s relationship with her dad is to the relationship that God wants to have with each and every one of us. The word “Abba” means “daddy” and your Heavenly Father offers you this same love and protection and unconditional sonship today as He just longs for you to look His way and rest in His loving arms. Spend some time with your Father in Heaven today, pour out your heart and let His love heal your wounds and set you free!
