The Spirit Who Cries ‘Abba’
Childlikeness is not something we create. It is something the Holy Spirit awakens.
No matter how long we have lived in fear, self-protection, striving, or emotional distance, there is Someone inside us whose whole purpose is to bring us back to the Father. That Someone is the Holy Spirit.
His primary work is not to make us “more spiritual,” but to make us sons and daughters who realize they are loved. The Spirit takes the finished work of Jesus Christ and applies it deep
within us.
He transforms us from the inside out—not into religious adults...
...but into children who can cry “Abba.”
