Abba’s Wallet

James 1:18
He brought us to life using the true Word, showing us off as the crown of all his creatures.

My Daddy went shopping with me the other day to help me find a new belt for my mower. He got out his ID to get his military discount, I paid the cashier and we turned to walk out. The lady quickly stopped us and said, “Sir, I believe this fell out of your wallet.” As I reached for it, I quickly recognized the picture. It was from my freshman year in high school. It was worn and well loved, I am going on 50. Dad took the small snapshot, smiled and said, “Thank you! I have carried this with me for a long time.” Then he tucked it back in its place for safe keeping.

Do you realize Abba, means daddy. It is one of the names for God. It is more intimate than father or even dad. It is a special name that represents the child like relationship we have with God. That run to Him to kiss the boo-boo or make the bully next door quit picking on me relationship. For me, it is that can I sit on your lap and You just hold me for a minute love.

No matter how your earthly father ever treated you or was even in your life, I know one thing for certain. If Abba had a wallet, your picture would be in it!

Abba, thank You for loving me. ~amen
