Key Thought
Abba! The first syllables some babies utter. The name for father in the language Jesus grew up speaking. Abba is a term of endearment, dependency, intimacy, tenderness, and respect. Because of the Holy Spirit's presence within us, we call out to God and address him in this precious, intimate, and dependent way: Abba, Father. The Creator of the universe, the God who dwells in eternity, the God who became flesh in Jesus, and the God who has the power to conquer death, sin, and the evil one invites us to call him our Abba, Father! Such overwhelming grace, such indescribable mercy, and such intimate relationship with God are ours because of the Holy Spirit's presence within us.
Today's Prayer
O Abba, Father, thank you for being my loving heavenly Father and welcoming me to you as your precious child! In Jesus' name. Amen.
