We call you, Abba, Father.

 Amen. "We call You Abba, Father" is the most intimate and tender address a child of God can offer—a cry of closeness, trust, and belonging. It is not a formal title or a distant address. It is the language of a child running into the arms of their Father. It is the cry of the Spirit within us, the whisper of a heart that knows it is loved.
