When he the spirit rises within us, our spirits join him in saying the words of tender affection, beloved father for the Holy Spirit makes God's fatherhood real to us. He whispers into our innermost being, you are God's beloved child. And since we are his true children, we qualify to share in all the treasures, all his treasures - and that may be the first time we've seen this in the west.
