Finding Strength: The Love of the Father in Addiction Recovery
It's so important that we understand who God is as a father and that we need to pursue truth. It means daddy, and he's saying: no longer do you need to be afraid of me, no longer do you need to deal with me as some faraway god, but that you can draw near to me in the same way that my children run to me every morning, every morning.
