It really hit me that God being my Father has amazing implications! If God is my Father, then he is totally dedicated to my well-being. It means that the love he has for me is very, very special. He must really care about me. And he has to be committed to protecting me from harm. And his bond with me will last forever!
That truly is the grace that we have in Christ. God is our Father. This is such a radical truth. It is unique from all the other religions and philosophies of the world. As beloved children, the revelation of this grace ought to make us sing and dance and celebrate with joy!
Psalm 145:7 They will celebrate your abundant goodness and joyfully sing of your righteousness.
Dear Father in heaven, how blessed am I to be privileged to call you that! I pledge my heart to you, to honor you though I am weak. I pray for the power of the Holy Spirit to continually grasp the depth of your fatherly love and goodness and to respond to it with true praise and worship from my heart. I cling to you in faith and acknowledge every good thing we have in Christ Jesus, your only begotten son, as we are adopted as sons and daughters through him. Amen!
