In any relationship, the name of the other person is very important, too.
How we call that person is an indicator of how we feel about that person.
Is there anger or affection. Is there familiarity and intimacy.
When we think of a relationship with God, what do we call him?
God.
Father
Almighty.
Are we close enough to him to call him Abba Father?
Abba is a form of little children addressing their father as Papa or Daddy.
It is not something that most will favor because of His position as Creator.
It shows a closeness that goes deeper nearer than anything ever can.
It is a position of love and security.
