A New Day

This is a new day. I am thinking about how to start this blog. I already have two posts. This is the third day I have written a post.

Why did I create a blog? There are several reasons. First, I want to infuse hope into you, everyone and anyone. Second, I have a deep desire to encourage you and anyone who needs to be encouraged. Third, I enjoy meaningful conversations and relationships. Why? Because I have real hope. I have been encouraged. I want to help you become all you were created to be. The list could go on and on.

I want you to meet Abba. The word is aramaic for precious father. I was first introduced to Him in a college student conference in Vancouver, BC in January of 1972. I experienced a life changing transformation. Darkness turned to light. Confusion changed to peace. The light bulb of understanding lit up inside me. For the first time in my life I realized who I was and what I was designed to do. I knew deep in my heart that I was one of His sons. I knew I wanted to spend my life mending broken people.

I think that the only way you can truly know who you are and why you were created is to experience a living relationship with the One who created you. His name is Abba. Christ is His Son. Why not meet Him right now?

Abba, I ask You to reveal Yourself to my friend right now. Friend, ask Him to open your eyes. Our Abba reveals Himself through the person of Christ. Say out loud, I want to know You, Abba. You are my Creator. I ask Your Son Christ to come into my life. I belong to You.

Friend, if you just experienced meeting your Creator, I rejoice with you. You are now a new memeber of the family of our Father. You have millions of new brothers and sisters in Christ.

I want to encourage you to stay tuned to my new post every day to grow in your relationship with Abba.

I want you to know that you are deeply loved, completely accepted and highly valued. You belong to Abba. You are precious and priceless.

Let me pray with you. Abba, I ask that you give my friend your peace today. Let them know that You will take care of them. They belong to you. Lead them to safe relationships where they can have their trust injuries repaired. A place where they can forgive their earthly fathers and establish safe boundaries. Help them reattach and reconnect with the parts of them that have gone into hiding because they have been injured. Help them understand that Christ took their pain of abandonment with His when He was crucified on the cross and rose from the dead. Help them to experience your deep healing and take risks to be healing agents to others.
