Why do we call Bhagwan our father

Hare Krishna, our scriptures mention that the atma (soul) is eternal meaning that it is neither created no destroyed. However we also believe that Bhagwan (God) is the only true father. This is the part where I got confused because if God didn't create our souls (atma) how can he be our father? Is it because he takes care of us which makes him equal to the fatherly status (just how we consider Nandbaba to be the Father of the lord even though the lord incarnated through Devki and Vasudev because Nandbaba and Yashodamata took care of the lord in his childhood)?
