God chose us before the creation of the world to be adopted as his sons and daughters through Jesus. This was His pleasure and His will, to know us and love us intimately, as a father loves his child. At this time of the year we often think about our founding fathers. Men such as Thomas Jefferson, Benjamin franklin, just to name a few of the 56 men who signed the Declaration of Independence. I am inspired by their determination and boldness, considering the great risk they took signing that document and what it would eventually cost them. I wonder what they might think of our country today. Would they be pleased? Regardless of the condition of our country, God has placed His Church in America to be salt and light to a dark world. One writer has said; “May the courage of our founding fathers inspire us to take risks, be bold, and believe that the good news of Jesus will change the world.” As we had founding fathers of our country, each of us has an earthly father, some good, some not so good. However, we are reminded that we have a heavenly Father, and that Jesus came to open the way back to that Father, His Father. Galatians 4:6 says; “Because we are God’s children, He has sent the Spirit of His Son, Jesus, into our hearts, so that now we have the right to talk about God as our Father, our Abba, our Dad. The song writer said; “I ask, You answer. I knock, You open wide. I pray and You hear me. I call, You’re by my side. I fall, You lift me. I call, and You are there. Father, I’ll never cease to love You! You are my Abba, my heavenly Father and I am my Abba’s child.
