Galatians 4:6 - "Because you are sons, God has sent forth the Spirit of His Son into our hearts, crying, 'Abba! Father!'"
Some of us have never experienced a strong father-figure in their lives. A heart that cannot give itself to God is handicapped to understand God’s Fatherly love for His children. However, we all have the opportunity to learn from the Spirit that lives within us, regardless of our earthly experience. While the Holy Spirit comes alongside us and teaches us, the Spirit of Jesus imbuing our inner man shows us how to speak and interact with His Father.
In order to know God in this way, we need to ask the Spirit of Jesus to tutor us how to be a child of God. More importantly, we must give Jesus the permission to speak intimately with His Father within us, instructing us on sonship. This simple wisdom will result in us crying “Daddy, Father” along with the Spirit within. May we rejoice with the Perfect Son in the revelation He gives us!
Your Barefoot Servant
Rick
