Know Him as Father

Today's Scripture

“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, NIV)

Today's Word from Joel and Victoria

When you acknowledge that Jesus is the Son of the living God, that He came to earth, lived a sinless life, died for our sins and rose again on the third day, then you have a new relationship with God. He becomes your Savior. People receive this truth and know God as the all-powerful, all-mighty Creator of the universe — the King of kings and the Lord of lords. And, He is all of that and worthy of our praise! But, many people don’t realize how personal God wants to be with you. He doesn’t just want you to see Him as living far off, He wants you to know Him as a close, loving and gentle Father — your Daddy.

If you didn’t have a good father growing up, don’t let that taint the image of who your heavenly Father is. He is merciful. He is forgiving. He is loving. Let the Word of God show you how good and faithful He is. Get to know Him in a more personal way. Talk to Him on a daily basis. Remember, you don’t have to go through anybody else to talk to God. You have a direct line. Know Him as your Savior, know Him as your Lord, know Him as your Father, and know His love in a new way.

A Prayer for Today

God, I want to know You more today. Show me Your ways that I may walk with You. Show me Your love and Your grace. I surrender every area of my heart, mind, will and emotions to You, my Father in Jesus’ name. Amen.

For me, He is Father, Healer, Master, Friend, and anyone else I need in today. I often think of love, direction, comfort, strength, and courage, makes me think He could be a She, or He is just in touch with His feminine side. We are made in His image, and we do have a feminine and masculine side, which we need to keep in balance. As I have shared before, when I did a meditation one day, the spiritual card said, `Your feminine side is languishing (don`t you just love that word). Our masculine side is our survivor side, the one that was in the forefront when we were using. I no longer have to just survive and just exist any more, I can live.
