The theme for 2007-2008 is
Abba I belong to You
based on the verse
1 John 3:1,
How great is the love the Father has lavished on us,
that we should be called children of God! And that is what we are!
The reason the world does not know us is that it did not know him.
Abba I belong to You is a declaration of our identity. God is our Abba Father. We are His children, dearly and lavishly loved. Knowing that we ARE His children – daughters of the King – should motivate us to live our lives like Jesus did – in ways the world does not know or understand.
What an unfathomable privilege to be adopted into God’s family, to be called, named, invited, and summoned to be daughters of the King. Who can grasp how wide and long and high and deep is the lavish love of God that would bring us into His very
own family?
Our relationship with God necessitates a response. Our identity initiates a new way of life. God’s daughters must bleed love for their Abba and for others following the example of Jesus whose blood set the seal of ownership on us; Abba, we belong
to You.
