His Name Is Abba

1 John 4:10 This is the kind of love we are talking about - not that we once upon a time loved God, but that he loved us and sent his Son as a sacrifice to clear away our sins and the damage they've done to our relationship with God.

Father! - to God himself we cannot give a holier name. ~William Wordsworth

The greatest gift I ever had Came from God; I call him Dad! ~Author Unknown

This IS the greatest story every told in all humanity. God sent His Son as a sacrifice for us.
From the beginning of time we messed up big time!! And it has been as simple as this, or maybe it is complicated? The truth is, we certainly do continue to fall short and it may not always be in actions but our minds and thoughts. We desire to keep our minds captive on the things of the Lord, we desire to be with Him.

Trust the Lord Your God with All Your Heart and Lean Not On Your Own Understanding. Proverbs 3.

Love Him with All Your Heart, Soul and Mind Matthew 26:33

He is our Savior, the Son of the Living God, Almighty Father, our Abba, Who is in Heaven, Holy is Your Name. When we know His Son we know Him. We are all in each other. The Father is in the Son and the Son is in us and we are in Him and it continues in His great love. In His heart, in our hearts and it continues in This Great Love.

Since I started my blog I write often about His great Love, about how this is communion. There is no greater place to be in this life. Loving my Lord, my Savior, my God, my Father.

When we reach out to Him, He raises us up.

This is the most beautiful song and it is about what happens when we allow Him to saturate us with His love.

There is not greater story ever told in all humanity. Receive all He has for you, and it is simple and it is complicated (maybe because we make it so). The desire of a Father for His Son and for His children and the desire of His children for Him.

Be still and know that He loves us more than our understanding. He is God, our Abba in Heaven.
