A blessed day

For you did not receive a spirit that makes you a slave again tofear, but you received the Spirit of sonship. And by him we cry,"Abba, Father." The Spirit himself testifies with our spirit thatwe are God's children. -- Romans 8:15-16

Ab-ba. Listen to a baby and you will hear these basic earlysounds. Incredibly, Jesus showed us, and the Spirit enables us, tospeak to God with these syllables of familiarity, trust,vulnerability, dependency, and intimacy. The Spirit is ourguarantee that we don't have to be afraid of God, but that we canapproach him as our loving and tender Father who always listens toour hearts and seeks to bless our lives.

Abba Father, you are glorious and majestic. Your deeds areawesome. Your power, O LORD, is unfathomable. Your grace, AlmightyGod, is wonderful. Thank you, Holy and Righteous Father, forallowing me to approach you as my always near and ever presentAbba. Please make your nearness clear in my life today, and everyday that follows. In Jesus' name. Amen.

Praise God

Shalom,
