"For you did not receive a spirit that makes you a slave again to fear, but you received the Spirit of daughtership. And by him we cry, "Abba,Father." Romans 8:15

I have a wonderful father - one who gave so much of himself for his daughter. He provided for me and he taught me who Jesus is - but in my mind the thing I most remember about him is simply the safety of his presence. I was never afraid when he was around, I didn't actually have to see him to feel safe, I just had to know he was there.
