the power of abba

On Parashath Lech Lecha, the Pri Ha'aretz, Rebbe Menachem Mendel of Vitebsk explains why Emunah is at the center of avodat HaShem in a great parable:

Just like a father greatly enjoys seeing his son call him 'abba,' even though his son is still so young and simple that he doesn't comprehend anything at all, so to HaShem, even though we can never really comprehend His being, greatly enjoys His children recognizing that He is 'Abba.'
