Revealing the Father

   We all know well Yeshua's call: "Come to Me, all you who are struggling and burdened, and I will give you rest. Take my yoke upon you and learn from me, because I am gentle and humble of heart, and you will find rest for your souls"  (Matthew 11:28-29). We may forget it from time to time, but we know it by heart.  What I have never really noticed before, is that this promise follows immediately after an integral statement about our Heavenly Father: "Indeed, no one fully knows the Son except the Father, and no one fully knows the Father except the Son and those to whom the Son wishes to reveal Him." (Verse 27)
  Yeshua always leads us to ADONAI, to our Abba. He embodies the Father to us and is the Bridge of open access to His heart. He carries us and lays us upon His chest. As Yeshua reveals His Father to us, we are immersed in a Love so great, so indescribable, that all the cares and struggles and concerns of our lives pale, recede, diminish, disappear in His Shalom that surpasses every bit of intellectual understanding we possess.  He is so much greater, so much bigger, so much more powerful than our problems. We are the 'apple of His eye.' What can the world truly do to us that matters more?
