Abba, when converted to its verbal form in Aramaic, is the one who adopts us as a father, the one who becomes adoptive father to us. God is not just a creator, a father who conceived us by accident and moved on, God is the one who chooses to become father to us when we are orphaned. Abba can never be misconstrued as a deadbeat; he is Abba by virtue of his intentional choosing to be Father.
