It was in high school, sophomore year when I clung to God as my Father. Before then I had never really given it much thought that God was called "Father" in the Bible. My Bible teacher gave us a handout with different names of God and said to mark the ones that spoke to us. "Father" was on there. I remember wanting to call Him something personal in my devotional journalings so I called Him "Papa." My own version of "Abba."
To be a child of God is to have love. Unconditional love. To have support and strength that is not my own. It is to have a safe haven. To be accepted beyond my action but because I am His own child.
This month is Adoption Aid month. I encourage you to find a
way to bring home children to families. That the human family would be an example of the heavenly family we all have.
