The reality of Abba

THE FATHER
my Father is a beastly man, yet so loving that one might forget to fear His character, neglecting to give him the respect He deserves. merely to gaze upon Him strikes a blow to His foe. to witness it, you would be left without breath at the pure force of His rage. yet, His love for His children is equally as powerful and equally as devastating. the force of his love destroys. but only the fear. this love cleanses one from the enemy within.

THE INTERCEPTION
yesterday, even as I witnessed Cancer pursuing the breath of my bride I cried out to my Father for help. no sooner had I begun to speak, did he appear at my back. and after only a moment I felt His mighty frame begin to stir. as I turned to see what was afoot I beheld something most amazing. like a mighty lion, Father sprang between that beast and my bride, blocking his path to my beloved. with a mighty ROAR He set Cancer on his ear and my fears were wholly dispelled. though I may be helpless, my Father is a mighty warrior who keeps His children's lives in the safety of His will.

THE AFTERMATH
Cancer is not dead. he may yet rise to challenge, yet he will not challenge me nor my love. he will challenge Almighty and he will never win. caitie and I await that day, but we have no fear for we rest in the shadow of the Lion of the Tribe of Judah. knowing that we are the new Judah, we will never need fear Cancer. we will not fear even Death himself, for he was defeated when this Lion was sacrificed for our lives.
