Our condescending Father

This may sound weird, but I am on my knees, late at night, writing this with the laptop on the bed in our spare room, where I sometimes sleep if working late or needing space. It seems appropriate.
I feel a sense of wonder. So much seems to be opening up in my understanding and my heart is regularly melting within.
I have been pondering on our view of Jesus... as 'anointed and empowered by the Spirit' to do the Father's will. We look at this and say "we must be like this." And it's true... but my experience has been that it is sporadic - times knowing he is flowing in us or inspiring or giving insight or prayer...and other times we feel empty and lost and so 'unspiritual'. But the key to Jesus' life was first of all that who he was and how he operated all came from Father - then the Spirit came to empower his ministry. He was rooted and established in his life with his Father - with Abba, Daddy. He didn't say, "I only say what the Spirit tells me, or do what the Spirit does..." It was Father he emulated, it was Abba he spoke from. How have we missed this?

I find two things happening to me, now I have met my Papa, my Daddy. When I was up town shopping, everyone I looked at my heart said "Father loves you so very much - you are so precious to him." Everyone! It just leapt up from within.
Then I find I am happy to be simple, dependent, uncluttered - and constantly asking my Daddy for his interaction and thoughts and direction on my daily tasks. It is as if I am a little child holding his hand. Previously I was easily driven with tasks, deadlines, oughts... with anxiety and stress gnawing at me off and on that I had to speak truth to to steady myself. That seems so foreign to this life with my Papa. It is a wonder... and a delight... and "more than I could imagine."

We marvel at the wonder of the cross, at the giving and suffering for us. But is this not too a thing of wonder, that Almighty Father, Lord of the Universe, should condescend to dwell in us, and reveal his heart, and pour out his tenderest love upon us. Such is his good pleasure!!!
