Good fathers create an atmosphere of safety for their children. I grew up in a home where I felt protected by my dad, but even if you didn’t, followers of Jesus can rest in our Heavenly Father’s care.

So you have not received a spirit that makes you fearful slaves. Instead, you received God’s Spirit when he adopted you as his own children. Now we call him, “Abba, Father.” Rom 8:15

In Christ, you are a son not a slave, or you are daughter not a slave! You are the King’s kid. Since your dad is in control, you have no reason to fear. This Spirit of Sonship frees us from fear and assures us of his loving care.

Cry out to him like a kid cries out to their dad! He longs to give you comfort!
