We are his children
No short-cut that tries to bypass the patient unfolding of the true character of God, and our relationship to him as his children, can ever succeed in providing long-term spiritual therapy.
But the knowledge that the Father has bestowed his love on us, so that we are called children of God — and in fact are his children (1 John 3:1–2), will, over time, prove to be the solvent in which our fears, mistrust, and suspicion of God — as well as our sense of distance from him — will eventually dissolve.
