For all who are led by the Spirit of God are sons of God. For you did not receive the spirit of slavery to fall back into fear, but you have received the Spirit of adoption as sons, by whom we cry, “Abba! Father!” The Spirit himself bears witness with our spirit that we are children of God, and if children, then heirs—heirs of God and fellow heirs with Christ, provided we suffer with him in order that we may also be glorified with him. (Romans 8:14-17 ESV)
We are called children of God...let that sink in for a minute. we are children who cry out "Abba! Father!", a term of endearment, like "Daddy". He is everything good, just, and right, and even more than we can fathom...AND while being all of that, He wants to love on us, His children. Yes, we will suffer for Christ, but we are heirs of God...and He is all that we have ever had or wanted in a "Daddy". That's amazing!
