Matt. 9:22
But Jesus turned him about, and when he saw her, he said, Daughter, be of good comfort; thy faith hath made thee whole. And the woman was made whole from that hour.

It’s easy to take for granted, get accustomed to, or not even fully comprehend our relationship with God. I’m talking about the relationship of Father/daughter, Father/ son. We appreciate the Saviour/sinner, Healer/wounded, Provider/needy, comparisons a little more, I think, because this is how we pray! We’re sick, we’re guilty, we’re poor, we’re sad. In other words the “child of the King thing” can be only words that we hear in songs on Sundays. But when I’m afraid, when my safety is threatened, when my eyes will not stop crying, I want my Father! I find myself lately, instead of being slightly unfamiliar with the role of God/Father, I’m clinging to it tightly. If we ever could really grasp the reality of being our Father’s child, wow, how our perception of God and ourselves would change. A long time ago, I wrote a line in a song that said, “When I see who He is, I realize what I am”. I want to refresh that idea today and say, “When I see Who He is, I realize WHO I am”! Whenever I read where Jesus called a women, Daughter,  I’ve just been overwhelmed with the preciousness (if thats a word:) of that relationship I share with my God. Father/daughter. Oh, how He loves us. It’s like I can crawl up on His lap, lay my head on His shoulder, and I’m safe. When He calls you daughter, all is well. I encourage you to be His daughter today. Forget about everything else, and just find comfort in your Father’s arms.

If ye then, being evil, know how to give good gifts unto your children, how much more shall your Father which is in heaven give good things to them that ask him?
