VERSE:
For you did not receive a spirit that makes you a slave again to
fear, but you received the Spirit of sonship. And by him we cry,
"Abba, Father."
-- Romans 8:15

THOUGHT:
How revolutionary. Just as Jesus prayed to God addressing him as
"Abba Father," we too can speak so frankly and openly with God.
"Ab-ba" are some of the earliest syllables babies spoke. The word
"Abba" was used by very young children to speak intimately,
respectfully, and openly with their earthly fathers. The Holy
Spirit gives us that same privilege as God's children. We can call
the Creator of the universe, the Great God of Israel, the Father of
all peoples, the Almighty of eternity, Abba! Incredible.
PRAYER:
Abba Father, thank you for your presence within me through your
Holy Spirit. Thank you for letting me address you with such
familiarity and boldness, such respect and dependency. Thank you
for being my Heavenly Father for eternity. In Jesus' name I pray.
Amen.
