Day 209- "Abba, I belong to you"

I'm reading a free kindle book by Brennan Manning, called The Furious Longing of God. As I read the book, I'm reminded of God as my dear Father. It is within this context that my life has meaning, peace, joy, and hope. He challenges the readers to pray the words "Abba (during inhale), I belong to you (during exhale) for several minutes each day for a month with open hands. I have been meditating on this phrase and have felt immense peace as I feel my Father's arms wrap tightly around me.
I can hear him saying,
"Come now, my love. My lovely one, Come." Song of Songs 2:10
