Father, God

Father, God.

How often have I said that and prayed to God using those words without truly considering them?

Father.....God

Having grown up with 2 step-fathers and not knowing who my real father was until I turned 18, I used to watch my friends with their Dads and wonder what it was like to have that kind of relationship.  What was it like to be someone's little princess, cherished, protected and loved. 

The God of all creation, the great "I AM" (Exodus 3:14), the Almighty Powerful Lord of all things, time and space!  He who causes all things to work for those who love Him (Romans 8:28) and keeps everything together and flowing.  He, I dare to call Father.

Yet, that is what He tells me in the bible.  He is my Father because He chose me to be, by the blood of His Son, Jesus Christ and my belief and acceptance of Him as Lord of my life.  How amazing is that?  I am a princess, because I am the daughter of THE King!  How can it be?  I can only shake my head in wonder and incomprehension.  It is beyond my understanding.

But that is okay.  I am just grateful, SO grateful, to finally know the unconditional love of a father and what a Father!  Perfect, faithful, compassionate, strong, ever-present, protective and kind.

Father, God, You alone are Holy and True!  I desire to be in your presence and see Your glory and know You and Your love.
