...the Father knows my name?
"I will go before you and level the exalted places...I will give you the...hords in secret places...I call you by name." Is 45:2-4
...the Father keeps track of the the smallest details of my life?
"Even the hairs of your head are numbered." Matt. 10:30
...the Father collects my tears in a bottle?
"You have kept count of my tossings; put my tears in your bottle. Are they not in your book?" Ps 58:6
...the Father has inscribed me on the palm of His hand?
"Behold, I have engraved you on the palms of my hands; your walls are continually before me." Is 49:16
...the Father's heart is stirred and aroused with compassion for me?
"The Father shows compassion to his children, so the Lord shows compassion to those who fear him." Ps 103:13
...the Father has a cord of love tethered to my heart and is gently drawing me closer?
"When Israel was a child, I loved him, and out of Egypt I called my son...It was I who taught Ephraim to walk; I took them up by their arms, but they did not know that I healed them. I led them with cords of kindness, with bands of love, and I became to them as one who eases the yoke on their jaws and I bend down to them and feed them." Hos 11:1, 3-4
Abba wants me, he desires a deep, abiding love relationship with me. He wants my heart. He says, "How I would set you among my sons, and give you a pleasant land, a heritage most beautiful of all nations. And I thought you would call me, My father, and would not turn from following me." Jer 3:19
Do I understand His love for me? Do I understand His desire to hold me, sing over me, breath on me? His desire for me has nothing to do with my performance. But His sheer love and delight in me, His daughter. Praise God!!
Father, come! Sing over me, hold me, breathe your breath of life over me until only you run out of me...only you Abba Father!
"...He will rejoice over you with gladness,
He will quiet you with His love,
He will rejoice over you with singing."
Zep 3:17
