A friend of mine sent this, it was so comforting I just had to share 🙂
“Abba: The God Who IS Our Daddy”
“God is referred to by a number of names in the Bible – not just a single name. Each of these names has a great significance. Each one tells us something important about God, His character and how He relates to us. Abba is the name Jesus Himself used for His Father when He prayed in the Garden of Gethsemane, captured in Mark 14:36. In Aramaic, it is the familiar name small children use for their father–Daddy.”
“Jesus prayed, “Daddy, all things are possible for You.” Abba expresses all the love and affection of a small child for their father. It’s not only Jesus who can call God the Father, “Daddy.” The Bible shares in Romans 8:15, that God has adopted you as His Child and that now you may call Him, “Abba, Father”. The Great God of the universe invites you and me to call Him, Daddy! You can come to Him as a little child comes to his dad. In His Arms you are able to be secure.”
“When this life on earth just seems to throw at you, or ones you love, more than are able to cope with, there IS the Father, Son, and Holy Spirit constantly leaning your way. This is due to the anticipation of your request of His Healing Power and Touch, Mercy and Grace, Strength and Courage, Compassion and Caring for His children, His Love, Joy, and Peace. What an Awesome God we have, Who cares SO much for you and Who wants and needs you to be with Him now, forever and ever. What a Blessing, that no matter what hardships, trials, temptations we go through, for these moments granted on earth, there IS Love like no other available, just for the asking, 24/7!! “
“My thoughts and prayers are that you take Daddy up on His Offer to you! That you release ALL of your burdens to Him, Who has had VERY much practice in doing this and helping His Children. That His angels are sent to help and protect you from harm and evil. In Jesus’ Name. Thy Will be done. Amen. Peace.”
