Romans 8:15 ” For you did not receive a spirit that makes you a slave again to fear, but you received the spirit of son-ship. And by Him we cry, ‘Abba, Father.’ “

This week ended the 5 year journey of my son’s family adopting a beautiful  little girl from Haiti.  The moment this orphan’s feet hit USA soil she was a legal citizen and officially theirs.  Another word for son-ship in this verse is adoption.  We all have the opportunity to be legally adopted by our Heavenly Father.  But for some,  they see God only through the lens of their biological father…a man that might  have been absent, abusive, or angry.  Despite the faults and failures of your earthly father…your Heavenly Father will be loving and involved.  He is not to be feared for retaliation.  He is just and will never leave you.  He will accept you just as you are, and will love you unconditionally.  God is your Daddy, which is what the word Abba means…and He’s wanting to be that Daddy in your life you may have never had.
