A Love Letter from God: My Dear Sweet Child

You may not know me, but I know everything about you (Ps 139:1). I know when you sit down and when you rise up (Ps 139:2). I am familiar with all your ways (Ps 139:3). Even the very hairs on your head are numbered (Mt 10:29-31). For you were made in my image (Gen 1:27).

In me, you live and move and have your being (Ac 17:28). For you are my offspring (Ac 17:28). I knew you even before you were conceived (Jer 1:4-5). I chose you when I planned creation (Eph 1:11-12). You were not a mistake, for all your days are written in my book (Ps 139:15-16). You are fearfully and wonderfully made (Ps 139:14). I knit you together in your mother's womb (Ps 139:13). And brought you forth on the day you were born (Ps 71:6).

I am not distant and angry but am the complete expression of love (1Jn 4:16). And it is my desire to lavish my love on you simply because you are my child and I am your father (1Jn 3:1). I offer you more than your earthly father ever could (Mt 7:11). Every good gift that you receive comes from my hand (Jas 1:17). For I am your provider and I meet all your needs (Mt 6:31-33). -32).

My plan for your future has always been filled with hope (Jer 29:11). Because I love you with an everlasting love (Jer 31:3). My thoughts toward you are countless as the sand on the seashore (Ps 139:17-18). And I rejoice over you with singing (Zep 3:17). I will never stop doing good to you (Jer 32:40). And I want to show you great and marvelous things (Jer 33:3).

If you seek me with all your heart, you will find me (Dt 4:29). Delight in me and I will give you the desires of your heart (Ps 37:4). I am able to do more for you than you could possibly imagine (Eph 3:20). For I am your greatest encourager (2Th 2:16-17).

I am also the Father who comforts you in all your troubles (2Co 1:3-4). When you are broken-hearted, I am close to you (Ps 34:18). As a shepherd carries a lamb, I have carried you close to my heart (Isa 40:11). One day I will wipe away every tear from your eyes and will take away all the pain you have suffered on this earth (Rev 21:3-4).

I am your Father, and I love you even as I love my son, Jesus (Jn 17:23). For in Jesus, my love for you is revealed (Jn 17:26). He is the exact representation of my being (Heb 1:3). He came to demonstrate that I am not counting your sins (2Co 5:18-19). His death is the ultimate expression of my love for you (1Jn 4:10). I gave up everything I loved that I might gain your love (Ro 8:31-32).

Because you receive my son Jesus, you receive me (1Jn 2:23). And nothing will ever separate you from my love again (Ro 8:38-39). I have always been the Father, and will always be the Father (Eph 3:14-15).
