NAME

I had not invented that
Name.  I might have gone for
Destroyer as well as Creator,
Attributed duality to
Him.  Or might have posited
His absence, perhaps blaming 
Him for it.  But love insisted
On His presentation; grace,
Coming to us, avowed
Another was.  One, once known as
I AM, is known as "Father".

  1. Isn 't it wonderful, our Almighty God wants us to call Him Abba, Father, Daddy, and as we say in Hindi Pitaji

    1. God has come very near in His love for us, but He's still God: I have qualms about using "Daddy".
