My dear child

 

You may not know me, but I know everything about you  Psalm 139 :1. I know when you sit down and when you rise up  Psalm 139 :2.  I am familiar with all your ways  Psalm 139 :3. Even the very hairs on your head are numbered  Matthew 10 :29-31. For you were made in my image  Genesis 1:27. In me you live and move and have your being  Acts 17:28. For you are my offspring  Acts 17 :28. I knew you even before you were conceived  Jeremiah 1:4-5. I chose you when I planned creation  Ephesians 1 :11-12. You were not a mistake. For all your days are written in my book   Psalm 139 :15-16. I determined the exact time of your birth and where you would live Acts 17:26. You are fearfully and wonderfully made  Psalm 139:14. I knit you together in your mother’s womb  Psalm 139:13. And brought you forth on the day you were born  Psalm 71:6. I have been misrepresented by those who don’t know me  John 8:41-44. I am not distant and angry, but am the complete expression of love  1 John 4:16. And it is my desire  to  lavish  my  love on  you,  simply  because you are my child and I am your Father 1 John 3:1. I offer you more than your earthly father ever could  Matthew 7:11. For I am the perfect Father Matthew 5:48. Every good gift that you receive comes from my hand  James 1:17. For I am your provider and I meet all your needs Matthew 6 :31-33. My plan for your future has always been filled with hope  Jeremiah 29 :11. Because I love you with an everlasting love  Jeremiah 31 :3. My thoughts towards you are as countless as the sand on the seashore  Psalm 139 :17-18. And I rejoice over you with singing  Zephaniah 3 :17. I will never stop doing good to you  Jeremiah 32 :40. For you are my treasured possession  Exodus 19 :5. I desire to establish you with all my heart and all my soul  Jeremiah 32 :41. And I want to show you great and marvellous things  Jeremiah 33 :3. If you seek me with all your heart, you will find me   Deuteronomy 4 :29. Delight in me and I will give you the desires of your heart  Psalm 37 :4. For it is I who give you those desires  Philippians 2 :13. I am able to do more for you than you could possibly imagine  Ephesians 3 :20. For I am your greatest encourager  2 Thessalonians 2 :16-17. I am also the Father who comforts you in all your troubles  2 Corinthians 1 :3-4. When you are broken-hearted, I am close to you  Psalm 34 :18. As a shepherd carries a lamb, I have carried you close to my heart  Isaiah 40 :11.  One day I will wipe away every tear from your eyes and I will take away all the pain you have suffered on this earth  Revelation 21 :3-4.  I am your Father and I love you even as I love my son, Jesus  John 17 :23. For in Jesus my love for you is revealed  John 17 :26.  He is the exact representation of my being  Hebrews 1 :3. He came to demonstrate that I am for you, not against you  Romans 8 :31. And to tell you that I am not counting your sins, Jesus died so that you and I could be reconciled  2 Corinthians 5 :18-19. His death was the ultimate expression of my love for you  1 John 4 :10. I gave up everything I loved that I might gain your love  Romans 8 :32. If you receive the gift of my son Jesus, you will receive me  John 2 :23.  And nothing will ever separate you from my love again  Romans 8 :38-39. Come home and I will throw the biggest party Heaven has ever seen  Luke 15 :7  I have always been Father and will always be Father  Ephesians 3 : 14-15  My question is . . . Will you be my child?  John 1 :12-13. I am waiting for you  Luke 15 :11-32.

 

Love, your Father

Almighty God.
