God as my Father

I have a story to share with you. One week we were learning about the Father Heart of God, and I really wanted to get a deeper revelation of God as my daddy. I know God is a Heavenly Father but sometimes it is hard to comprehend or understand, so I wanted God to show me some way or another. One of the days our lecturer decided to put worship music on and said to us to just soak in God's presence while listening to the music. Okay I can do that,-a different kind of teaching, maybe God will show me something. While we were 'soaking' in God's presence, I saw a vision. It was so beautiful and encouraging I feel the need to share it.
I saw a beautiful forest, with green grass and green trees with the sun shining bright. The sky was clear, the atmosphere seemed pure and free. I saw a young girl in a beautiful dress with flowers in her hair (I think they were daisies). She was about 5 or 6 years old and she was running/skipping joyfully.

All of a sudden I realised that she was me. I then saw her say "Daddy" and saw her run and give a big hug to Jesus. He then laughed, sang, danced and played with her (or should I say me).

He then said "Precious daughter come here, I have prepared you a table with food and gifts". She went to the table and Jesus gave her fresh bread and juice. Jesus took His time to be with her as a loving Father and nothing else mattered. The place was so beautiful, no words can express, it was so beautiful to be in the presence of the Almighty King, as a daughter of the Most High and to be able to call Him 'Daddy'.
My expectations of having a deeper understanding of God as my Father really became real and alive to me that day.
I encourage you to seek God for more and if you don't yet have the revelation of Him as a Father ask Him to reveal it to you.
