Dear Child of God,
Please know that you are loved. You are greatly adored. You are special. You are encouraged. You are seen. You are powerful. You have a sound mind. You have a future. You have a hope. You have purpose. You are secure.
Why?
Because of me. Because of your God. Because of Christ, who accepted every ounce of pain, so that he could grant every ounce of grace. Grace is lavishly poured all over you. Do you know what this means? You are entirely secure.
I am the definition of love. I take joy in my creation. I give life. I show the way. I offer truth.
Know this, dear child, know this:
I won’t leave you, ever.
I won’t abandon you, never.
I won’t forsake you, no way no how.
I will help you, always.
I will lift you up and exalt you at just the right time, just see.
I will hold your hand in hard times, I will.
I will guide you in all of your days, trust me.
Come. Come and receive.
Stop striving and come.
Stop trying and come.
Stop worrying and come.
You can trust me. My love never fails, never ends and always overcomes.
I love you when you are at your worst.
I love you in your darkest hours.
I love you when all others walk away.
I love you when you mess up.
I love you morning, noon and night.
Dear child of God, it is impossible for me to stop loving you.
Love Always,
Your Lord and Savior, your King of Kings, your All-in-All, your One and Only
Because of the LORD's great love we are not consumed, for his compassions never fail. (Lamentations 3:22)
