You received a Spirit that shows you are adopted as his children. With this Spirit, we cry, “Abba, Father.” ~ Romans 8:15b (CEB)
Because your Holy Spirit lives in me, I call you ABBA FATHER -- dearest Father. That's who you are. But it has taken a change of heart in me to truly acknowledge that I belong to you. It is so easy for me to be casual about our relationship. But I want to take our relationship seriously. For you have taken me more seriously than I deserve. And that's what keeps me going everyday. Thank you for receiving me as your child. Now I want to do more than call you "Abba" -- I want to actually live like your child. Amen.
