Given Access to the Father

Jesus, God in the flesh, came to Earth for me. He came so that my sins could be atoned for, but also so much more. He came so that I could have access to the Father and live in a relationship with Him. His gospel means that there is no longer need to be separated from God, but Jesus made the way for me. I am amazed at how this awesome gift of grace gives me access to God. I can pray to Him about anything, and I can do that with confidence. I know that God can hear me, and that He cares about what I say. I have access to the Creator of all things; how could I not approach His throne every day!

LISTEN

My child, I love hearing from you. I sent Jesus so that you could have access to me, and this is never a regret. I do all things with purpose, so please understand that you don’t have to doubt me. I hear you, and I care about you. I want to hear your requests, and I need you to believe that I have loving power to answer you and your prayers. The word grace means that I want to give you far more than you can ask for, so ask and delight in my presence. You have access to me, and you have been given full permission to stand before my throne in faith.
