00:00:04.639 --> 00:00:11.279
<v SPEAKER_00>One of the most powerful truths you can hold on to is this: God is not distant.

00:00:11.759 --> 00:00:13.359
<v SPEAKER_00>He is your father.

00:00:13.759 --> 00:00:18.399
<v SPEAKER_00>He invites you into relationship, not just obedience.

00:00:18.960 --> 00:00:25.120
<v SPEAKER_00>You are not approaching him as a stranger, but as a son or daughter who belongs.

00:00:25.440 --> 00:00:30.399
<v SPEAKER_00>His heart toward you is personal, attentive, and full of love.

00:00:31.679 --> 00:00:38.640
<v SPEAKER_00>Romans 8.15 says, the spirit you received brought about your adoption to sonship.

00:00:38.880 --> 00:00:46.399
<v SPEAKER_00>Pause for a moment to thank God that you are not just created by him, but adopted into his family.

00:00:46.799 --> 00:00:50.719
<v SPEAKER_00>Think on the security that comes from being his child.

00:01:16.000 --> 00:01:21.280
<v SPEAKER_00>Be honest about any distance, fear, or misunderstanding.

00:01:21.920 --> 00:01:26.319
<v SPEAKER_00>Ask him to reveal his fatherly heart to you in a deeper way.

00:01:26.799 --> 00:01:31.359
<v SPEAKER_00>Let him help you live from identity, not insecurity.

00:02:30.639 --> 00:02:32.800
<v SPEAKER_00>Close your eyes for a moment.

00:02:33.280 --> 00:02:34.960
<v SPEAKER_00>Clear your thoughts.

00:02:35.599 --> 00:02:38.719
<v SPEAKER_00>Sit quietly and let the truth settle in.

00:02:39.199 --> 00:02:41.360
<v SPEAKER_00>You belong to Him.

00:02:42.080 --> 00:02:43.759
<v SPEAKER_00>Take a deep breath.

00:02:45.280 --> 00:02:46.800
<v SPEAKER_00>Now exhale.

00:02:49.039 --> 00:02:51.919
<v SPEAKER_00>Let your heart rest in that identity.

00:02:52.560 --> 00:02:57.039
<v SPEAKER_00>Say it out loud I belong to Him.

00:02:59.680 --> 00:03:03.599
<v SPEAKER_00>Father, thank you that we are your children.

00:03:03.919 --> 00:03:06.080
<v SPEAKER_00>We receive your love today.

00:03:06.479 --> 00:03:07.120
<v SPEAKER_00>Amen.
