Yah as Father --> Abba --> Daddy
Recently I have been helping a highly committed individual to chart their course with Father Yah and it became apparent that he was very fearful of harsh treatment by Yah. I was impressed to reassure him that Yah is gentle. He is a loving Father where the word translated Father in the Hebrew and Aramaic is more accurately translated as “Daddy”.
In over 30 years of walking closely with Daddy Yah I have NEVER experienced Him as vengeful or aggressive, a few times He has been somewhat irritated with me but that is as far as it has gone.

Yes, there ARE situations where people push Father to the limits of His patience but that is NOT the rule.
The Quran, in particular, repeatedly refers to Allah (Yah) as “merciful and oft forgiving”.
In the Bible, Daniel 9:9 states “Yah the Eternally Self-Existing {The Lord} our Mighty One {God} is merciful and forgiving, …;” NIV
Colossians 3:13 “Bear with each other and forgive one another if any of you has a grievance against someone. Forgive as the Lord forgave you.”
I have increasingly come to understand that, insofar as there ARE passages in the Bible and the Quran that depict Father Yah as vengeful and angry, this is NOT His default way of being. Yes, there have been some cases where people have really annoyed Father greatly and attracted His ire but more frequently the vengeful actions are a consequence of what angry and vengeful Believers have imposed on Yah or have placed their own violent interpretations.
As I understand it, today, Father is weary of all the nonsense, the sin, the rebellion, the lies spoken in His name. He is weary beyond anger. There are so few people who are making a real effort to build a relationship with Him and He is focused on them and pretty much ignoring all the Unbelievers and the nominal Believers and the Believers in intense error, pride and deception.
Right now He is so grateful for anyone who makes a moderate effort to draw close to Him that He is FAR from Anger or retribution. There are laws that apply and he applies those laws within the boundaries of His Grace and compassion and many times He grants Grace and Clemency.
Consider:
The Peace of Yah -- Consider Philippians 4:7 “and the peace of the Almighty {God}, which surpasses all understanding, will guard your hearts and minds through the Anointing of the Spirit of Yah that was upon Yahooshua {Christ Jesus}.”
The Joy of Yah – Consider Nehemiah 8:10 “… for the joy of Yah the Eternally Self-Existing {the LORD} is your strength”
Yah is longsuffering -- 2 Peter 3:15 “and consider that the longsuffering of our Yah {Lord} is salvation …”
Yah is oft forgiving – Colossians 3:13 “Bear with each other and forgive one another if any of you has a grievance against someone. Forgive as Yah {the Lord} forgave you.”
Rest in Yah -- Hebrews 4:10 “For all who have entered into the Almighty’s {God’s} rest have rested from their labours, just as the Almighty {God} did after creating the world.”
Yah is not a tyrant.

Conclusion
I hope that this discussion has encouraged you to seek to know Daddy Yah as a loving, gentle Father rather than whatever you may have believed up to now.

May Father bless you and keep you and make His face to shine upon you and grant you His Peace

But the wisdom from above is first pure, then peaceable, gentle, open to reason, full of mercy and good fruits, impartial and sincere.
But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness, self-control; against such things there is no law.
He will tend his flock like a shepherd; he will gather the lambs in his arms; he will carry them in his bosom, and gently lead those that are with young.
But let your adorning be the hidden person of the heart with the imperishable beauty of a gentle and quiet spirit, which in God's sight is very precious.
I, Paul, myself entreat you, by the meekness and gentleness of Christ—I who am humble when face to face with you, but bold toward you when I am away!—
Above all, keep loving one another earnestly, since love covers a multitude of sins.
With all humility and gentleness, with patience, bearing with one another in love,
Brothers, if anyone is caught in any transgression, you who are spiritual should restore him in a spirit of gentleness. Keep watch on yourself, lest you too be tempted.
A soft answer turns away wrath, but a harsh word stirs up anger.
But in your hearts honor Christ the Lord as holy, always being prepared to make a defense to anyone who asks you for a reason for the hope that is in you; yet do it with gentleness and respect,
Let your reasonableness be known to everyone. The Lord is at hand;
“Say to the daughter of Zion, ‘Behold, your king is coming to you, humble, and mounted on a donkey, on a colt, the foal of a beast of burden.’”
When the righteous cry for help, the Lord hears and delivers them out of all their troubles. The Lord is near to the brokenhearted and saves the crushed in spirit.
Do not let your adorning be external—the braiding of hair and the putting on of gold jewelry, or the clothing you wear—
But as for you, O man of God, flee these things. Pursue righteousness, godliness, faith, love, steadfastness, gentleness.
Put on then, as God's chosen ones, holy and beloved, compassionate hearts, kindness, humility, meekness, and patience,
Gentleness, self-control; against such things there is no law.
But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faithfulness,
“Blessed are the meek, for they shall inherit the earth.
With patience a ruler may be persuaded, and a soft tongue will break a bone.
The revelation of Jesus Christ, which God gave him to show to his servants the things that must soon take place. He made it known by sending his angel to his servant John, who bore witness to the word of God and to the testimony of Jesus Christ, even to all that he saw. Blessed is the one who reads aloud the words of this prophecy, and blessed are those who hear, and who keep what is written in it, for the time is near. John to the seven churches that are in Asia: Grace to you and peace from him who is and who was and who is to come, and from the seven spirits who are before his throne, and from Jesus Christ the faithful witness, the firstborn of the dead, and the ruler of kings on earth. To him who loves us and has freed us from our sins by his blood ...

To speak evil of no one, to avoid quarreling, to be gentle, and to show perfect courtesy toward all people.
And the Lord's servant must not be quarrelsome but kind to everyone, able to teach, patiently enduring evil, correcting his opponents with gentleness. God may perhaps grant them repentance leading to a knowledge of the truth, and they may come to their senses and escape from the snare of the devil, after being captured by him to do his will.
But we were gentle among you, like a nursing mother taking care of her own children.
Be kind to one another, tenderhearted, forgiving one another, as God in Christ forgave you.
So now faith, hope, and love abide, these three; but the greatest of these is love.
For the wages of sin is death, but the free gift of God is eternal life in Christ Jesus our Lord.

Peace I leave with you; my peace I give to you. Not as the world gives do I give to you. Let not your hearts be troubled, neither let them be afraid.
Come to me, all who labor and are heavy laden, and I will give you rest. Take my yoke upon you, and learn from me, for I am gentle and lowly in heart, and you will find rest for your souls.
So we have come to know and to believe the love that God has for us. God is love, and whoever abides in love abides in God, and God abides in him.
Know this, my beloved brothers: let every person be quick to hear, slow to speak, slow to anger; for the anger of man does not produce the righteousness of God.
For the word of God is living and active, sharper than any two-edged sword, piercing to the division of soul and of spirit, of joints and of marrow, and discerning the thoughts and intentions of the heart.
And the Lord's servant must not be quarrelsome but kind to everyone, able to teach, patiently enduring evil, correcting his opponents with gentleness. God may perhaps grant them repentance leading to a knowledge of the truth,
And the Lord's servant must not be quarrelsome but kind to everyone, able to teach, patiently enduring evil,
For God gave us a spirit not of fear but of power and love and self-control.
Set your minds on things that are above, not on things that are on earth.
And to put on the new self, created after the likeness of God in true righteousness and holiness.
Let all that you do be done in love.
Love is patient and kind; love does not envy or boast; it is not arrogant or rude. It does not insist on its own way; it is not irritable or resentful; it does not rejoice at wrongdoing, but rejoices with the truth. Love bears all things, believes all things, hopes all things, endures all things. Love never ends. As for prophecies, they will pass away; as for tongues, they will cease; as for knowledge, it will pass away.
Love is patient and kind; love does not envy or boast; it is not arrogant or rude. It does not insist on its own way; it is not irritable or resentful;
Owe no one anything, except to love each other, for the one who loves another has fulfilled the law.
Let love be genuine. Abhor what is evil; hold fast to what is good. Love one another with brotherly affection. Outdo one another in showing honor.

Charm is deceitful, and beauty is vain, but a woman who fears the Lord is to be praised.
An excellent wife who can find? She is far more precious than jewels. The heart of her husband trusts in her, and he will have no lack of gain. She does him good, and not harm, all the days of her life.
A friend loves at all times, and a brother is born for adversity.
Gracious words are like a honeycomb, sweetness to the soul and health to the body.
A gentle tongue is a tree of life, but perverseness in it breaks the spirit.
Let not steadfast love and faithfulness forsake you; bind them around your neck; write them on the tablet of your heart.

Seek the Lord and his strength; seek his presence continually!
