I am His child and He is the Father -- my Father.
I am His child and He is the Father — my Father.

“How great is the love the Father has lavished on us that we should be called children of God!” ~ 1 John 3:1

Lord, Your love astounds me. Your mercies new every morning give me strength and courage to pass through the turbulent waters. You are Almighty God, Maker of heaven and earth, and yet You are the Father of us all — Abba Father — our Daddy God.

How Great is the Father’s Love

I need my Daddy God. I need to rest in the comfort of Your arms, safe and secure, surrounded by Your love.

He is the Father of us all -- Abba Father -- our Daddy God.
He is the Father of us all — Abba Father — our Daddy God.

I need to hear Your heartbeat, its soothing rhythm calming my restless thoughts, the warmth of Your embrace bringing me peace.

I suppose it sounds silly to some, Lord — silly to think of You as my Daddy God, silly to think I could hear Your heartbeat.

But You understand my thoughts, Lord. I don’t audibly hear Your heartbeat, but when I’m in Your presence sheltered by Your embrace, Your love is tangible, comforting, soothing to the beast of anxiety that sometimes torments me inside.

And for that I am grateful.

With that, I am as a child once again knowing my Daddy is going to make everything okay and I need not be afraid.

There’s No Place Like the Presence of The Father

I love to be in Your Presence, to hear Your whispers, to know I am Your child and You are the Father — my Father. No love is as great as Yours. No comfort so complete.

Sometimes a girl just needs to be held by the Father.
Sometimes a girl just needs to be held by the Father.

I believe, Lord.

And I recognize You are mighty in power, fierce in battle, strong, sovereign, holy beyond our comprehension, but sometimes a girl just needs to be held by her Father and rocked into a peaceful sleep.

Thank You, Lord. Thank You for meeting me right where I am, even with the ugly, and loving me still.

In Jesus’ Name I pray,

Amen
