Family relationship with God

God wants to have a family relationship with us. That's probably the relationship He treasures the most in the new covenant for we are called sons and daughters the moment we believe in Jesus and His finished work at the cross and His resurrection on the third day.

In the natural, we treasure family relationship the most. Have we hear of a dying man at his bed lamenting on his missed opportunities at work? Have we hear a man at his final hour on earth talking about the top prize toto which he should have bought? How often do we hear of people longing to see certain son or daughter because he or she is overseas? How often do we hear of a patriarch figure wishing to mend his relationship with his prodigal son at his death bed?

Abba Father wants us, sons and daughters of the most high God, to have an intimate family relationship with Him. He is so rich that He wants to lavish His love and riches on His sons and daughters. He is more than able to meet all our needs and much more. He is more than willing to come to our level of faith to see us through our challenging situation. He is El Shaddai! He wants all His sons and daughters to be abundantly provided for.

Trust in His fatherly love towards us. He had given us Jesus, what more will He, with Jesus, not give us? Lean on His love for us. Hallelujah!
