đź’ Consider this: How does addressing God as your “Father” affect the way you approach Him in prayer and daily life? Do you find yourself seeking Him intimately or at a distance?

YT Description
📣 Have you called God “Father” without really considering what it means? 🤔
“Father”—it’s a word we use so easily in prayer. But have you ever stopped to reflect on why we can call God that? To use the same title that Christ Himself used? Surely, we have no natural right to address the holy God as “Father”—yet that’s exactly how we are taught to pray: “Our Father.” How is it that we, once enemies of God, can now be called His children?
In his address to the Colossians, Paul gives us this very reason; that through Christ, we have been radically transformed. And so, in Colossians 1:12, Paul emphasises that it is God’s grace that has made us “partakers of the inheritance of the saints in light.” It is not something we earned or deserve. Paul’s words urge the Colossians—and us—to remember that we’ve been rescued from the domain of darkness and brought into God’s marvellous light. The very fact that we can call God “Father” is a testimony to the grace and mercy He has lavished on us.
Has calling God “Father” lost its weight for you? Have you called upon Him, yet forgotten the cost and mercy that made you His child? Join us as we reflect on what it truly means to call God our Father.
