A CLOSE RELATIONSHIP

“For as many as are led by the Spirit of God, they are the sons of God.  For ye have not received the spirit of bondage again to fear; but ye have received the Spirit of adoption, whereby we cry, Abba, Father.  The Spirit itself beareth witness with our spirit, that we are the children of God:”

Romans 8:14-16 KJV

Someone said “I always wanted to have a close relationship with my Dad but we didn’t have one”.  We might not have a close relationship with our Dad but we can have a close relationship with our Heavenly Father.  It is hard for some people to express love to their children because they never felt loved.

If you didn’t have a close relationship with your dad, you can have one with our Heavenly Father.  He is waiting for you with His arms open wide for you to run into them.  He longs to comfort you and encourage you.  He loves you so much He gave His Son to die on the cross for you.

Dads, it is so important that you are kind and loving to your children.  It’s hard for people to believe that our Heavenly Father loves them and wants them if their own dad didn’t love them or want them.  May God help all of us to have a close relationship with our family and with our Heavenly Father.
