Can you imagine how you would gaze upon your newborn baby for the first time?
This is the way the Father loves everyone. He's constantly looking at us and is constantly delighting in us.
The Father always looks at us with the same delight, love, and rejoicing as a father looks at his newborn for the first time. This is how our Heavenly Father looks at us, delights in us, rejoices in us and contemplates us right now.
When we feel things that we feel far away, or we think we feel that there's such darkness or separation or walls, it's an illusion, it's not true. We are always gazed upon with love and intimacy.
In this episode, we're discussing the intimacy the Father wants to invite us into.
