A Very Personal Connection

Scripture – Galatians 4:6-7: ⁶Because you are sons, God sent the Spirit of his Son into our hearts, the Spirit who calls out, “Abba, Father.” ⁷So you are no longer a slave, but a son; and since you are a son, God has made you also an heir.

Reflection: – One of the unique aspects of the Christian faith is the personal relationship each person can have with God. The word “Abba” has been translated many different ways. The key, thought, is it conveys a very personal relationship with the Father – a relationship that is intimate and unique for each of us.

Through faith in Jesus Christ I have this intimate connection. The great Creator of the universe also knows me and interacts with me. God is interested in the smallest details of my life. That’s a bit mind-boggling. And it’s a Biblical truth I sometimes find hard to accept.

How about you? How would you describe your relationship with God? What do you do to nurture that relationship?
