10 Wonderful Ways God's My Father

10 Wonderful Ways God’s My Father

I first met God at sixteen. Since that amazing-grace day, the Lord Almighty is my Father.

And the Bible confirms this happens when we accept Christ as Savior, God’s gift of salvation.

“…God has sent forth the Spirit of His Son into your hearts, crying out, ‘Abba Father!’” Galatians 4:6b (NIV)

This meant everything to me then and now.

Because my earthly-father story includes chapters of abandonment, a longing to know my biological father, and dreams to be loved by a father.

And a redemptive ending that still amazes me.

God as our heavenly Father, rises above any father definitions we write into our stories. No matter our earthly-father experiences, God is Abba Father.

God Loves Me

(1) He adopted me.

Just as my stepfather helped raise me as his own daughter, God adopted me into His family.

“God decided in advance to adopt us into his own family by bringing us to himself through Jesus Christ. This is what he wanted to do, and it gave him great pleasure.” Ephesians 1:5 (NLT)

(2) He loves me.

“See what kind of love the Father has given to us, that we should be called children of God; and so we are.” 1 John 3:1a (ESV)

My biological father came back into my life and I finally realized that he did indeed love me.
