Father's Day is Complicated

We are adopted by God, our Heavenly Father because of what the Son has done. And it is the Spirit inside us that enables us to cry, "Abba Father." None of this we can do on our own, but there are some things that we can do that will kind of activate that deposit. One of the ways that we can respond is to forgive. Maybe we need to forgive our earthly fathers. One of the gifts that God has given you, as someone that is walking with Jesus, is the ability to offer forgiveness to someone else that you cannot do alone. The Father is enabling you to do so through the Spirit because of the sacrifice of the Son.
