An open letter from the heart of a father

My Child, 
    I wanted you to know that I’ve been thinking about you today. In fact, I think of you all the time. I know you completely (Psalm 139:1-4). Never forget that you are never alone. I am with you always (Psalm 139:5-9). When you feel as if you are going to fall or like you are going to “lose it,” My Child, I am holding you in My right hand (Psalm 139:10). When darkness comes, don’t be afraid because I’m with you and the darkness is as light to me (Psalm 139:11-12). When you begin to question your value and life’s purpose, stop & remember! Remember that I created you for My glory. All of your days are accounted for in My book (Psalm 139:13-16).

    My Child, when your mind is spinning, seemingly, out of control, focus on Me. I am able to keep your mind in perfect peace … totally calm. All you have to do is look to Me (Isaiah 26:3-4). When you can’t sleep, spend time with Me. Come near to Me (Isaiah 26:9a).

    You long to be renewed/restored. Your renewal/restoration comes as you draw near to Me (Isaiah 41:1). No matter what happens, I will NEVER cast you aside. I know you are accustomed to people leaving or casting you aside, but I’m not like them. Rest with no fear because you need never to be dismayed. You don’t need to look away … because I am your eternal Father. I am your God! Stay near, Dear One, so I may strengthen you, help you and hold you. My beloved precious Child, I will protect you from the enemy … no matter the form he takes (Isaiah 41:8-12).

    I have redeemed you. If and when you begin to question My love for you, look no further than your redemption (Isaiah 43:1). When we spend time together, you aren’t a generic person. You aren’t a number. I know your name! I know it because I gave it to you. I will NEVER be ashamed of the fact that you are My child. I am glad you are Mine! NEVER EVER forget that you do belong … you belong to Me (Isaiah 43:1). Trials will come in life, but take courage. I am with you. I do have a purpose in allowing you to go through the trials. They aren’t in vain (Isaiah 43:2; Romans 8:28-29). My Child, remember that even on your worst day, you are precious to Me and I love you. I’m not ashamed to tell you that I love you. I will honour you because you are Mine (Isaiah 43:4). 

    I specialize in making ALL things new (Isaiah 43:18-19). I need you to know that the sin you’ve committed and the sins committed against you grieve Me beyond human comprehension. My Love, I know you are hurting, but you’re not alone in your pain. I feel it (Isaiah 43:24). I am going to bring healing into your life. Full, complete, restorative healing. It does take time. I need you to fully trust Me. Trust My ordained process. I am the One who heals & forgives you (Isaiah 43:25) … and I enable you to forgive others. 

    NEVER EVER forget that you are loved, wanted, precious, honoured, forgiven & redeemed. Be who I created you to be. Rest … even in life’s busyness, rest in Me. I love you, My Child!

                    All My Eternal Love,
                    Your Heavenly Father
