The Lord who formed you does not want you to fear. He has redeemed you and called you by name; you are His! (Isa. 43: 1) How wonderful it is to know that you are loved so much. I pray that you get the revelation that the almighty, the creator of the whole universe loves you as much as the nation Israel. Jesus prayed that the love of the Father for Him might also be in you! (John 17) Can you even begin to imagine that the Father loves you as much as Jesus? It's all because of the cross where Jesus gave you His name and identity. You have been made sinless and raised as co-heir with Jesus! That means that you are seated at the right hand of your Father with Jesus, and can chat with Him about all your fears, problems and joys. You were created to have that kind of intimacy with Him. He is the only one that knows you inside out and understands you perfectly. He ought to be your very best friend. Your Daddy can turn your whole life situation around in an instant. You may say that He knows everything about you already, and He does. However, He can't communicate with you unless you give Him a loving, listening ear. You may know all about God and have a powerful ministry, but does Papa know you? Or will He say that He does not know you? (Mat. 7:21-23; Luke 13:25-27) He longs for intimacy in the secret place, where you can unload everything that's on your heart and express your love. It is the first commandment, and on that are all the rest of the commandments based. If you were to observe all the commandments but don't know Him intimately, then they would be works of the flesh. Like job, you would take pride in your endeavours and feel that you have pleased God. However, you are already righteous and you cannot do anything to make Him love you more! The more you come to know the awesome love your Daddy has for you, the more you will want to please Him! Come daily to Him and ask Him to create in you a clean heart. He will show you what you may not even be aware of, and this opens the door to genuine repentance, and releases you from the bonds of the enemy. The Father has drawn you to Jesus; now Jesus is showing you your Papa. If you know Jesus, you know the Father. He is full of mercy; He is Love. Therefore, do not fear to come before Him. The prodigal son felt that he did not deserve to eat at his father's table. Instead he was embraced and exalted! "Sing unto God, sing praises to His name… and rejoice before Him. A father of the fatherless… who daily loadeth us with benefits." (Ps. 68: 4-5; 19) He, too, rejoices over you with joy and singing! (Zeph. 3:17)
