A Letter from God
Dear Child,
I want to remind you today that you are beautiful. As you know there is a father of lies who will try to deceive you. He will tell you that you aren’t enough! Good enough, righteous enough, or smart enough. He will tempt you to doubt Me and then, after you do, he will accuse you of being a failure. He will also tell you that you have broken too many promises, lived one too many lies, and fallen one too many times. He will try to discourage you and tell you you’ve been going in the wrong direction and that it is pointless to turn back now. “You,” he hisses, “Are unimportant to God.”
Guess what? You do not belong to Satan he is not your father. I AM. I am your King. You are born of my thought! Every part of you I carefully put together by My hands. You have my thumbprint on your life. You are my workmanship! You are My creation! You are my joy! My very own!
You not loved because you are precious. You are precious because you are loved…by Me your KING! There is nothing that can separate you from my love. There is no ocean too deep. There is no mountain too high. Yes, sin did change my perfect creation. Yes, you live in a broken, fallen world. Every human being is born in sin because of Adam and Eve’s disobedience. However, I could not turn my back on them. I will not turn my back on you. I robed myself in flesh and came to earth to pay for you with my own blood. I am your redeemer and you are covered with My grace. I have done everything there is to do and given all there is to give–for you! Your life is precious because I created it and redeemed it! My love for you is everlasting, unfailing and eternal.
The father of lies may whisper in your ear; “Did God really say…?” He ignites flames of doubts. But I am unchangeable. My Word is truth. I desire to spend time with you, every moment of every day. My love for you never grows cold. My promises are never broken. My character never changes. You, my child, have been made in my image. You are beautiful. You have purpose. You have destiny. You have hope in every situation, because of Me. Read my Word, the letters I wrote to you in the Bible. Believe My story for your life. Love me with all your heart, soul, mind and strength. Be renewed in my spirit, as they were in Acts chapter 2. Come to me, rest in me and My presence will fill you with the fullness of my joy. Love others as I have loved you. Love with a love that dares to see beyond the tattered dirty coats, of the Lost. Love with a love that confronts evil. Love with a love that forgives, as I have forgiven you.
I love you unconditionally, dearly and completely. I know your emotions. I see your tears. I see your thoughts. When you don’t know what to pray, My Spirit prays for you with words deeper than any sigh. I know all about you. I know your secrets, fears, weaknesses and failures. None of this changes my love for you. My faithfulness is eternal. Learn of Me! Believe Me! Trust Me! Find order in the midst of your chaos with Me. Begin each day with me. Calm your nights with Me. Entrust your heart to Me, I hold it close to my own.
Forever & faithfully yours,
Your Heavenly Father/Your King
Christ Jesus

Thanks for this post Jen!! You may not realize it, but when I looked into my neverending emails and saw this one I went to it immediately to see what God had to tell me today. It was exactly what I needed to hear right now. I had just gotten out of the shower where I don't know if the water washed me or the abundance of tears falling from my eyes washed me, but I was thoroughly saturated with a mixture of both. Lately God seemed to have forgotten who I am or where I am, and I feel as though I'm so alone. I've felt this way for some time now but I've tried to hold on the the Lord and trust in His Word but it seems as though the way my life has turned out that the Lord just doesn't hear my cries any more...sigh...You have encouraged me in the Lord by letting me know that I've been listening to the "father of lies, the one who ignites those flames of doubt". I appreciate this entire post and I'm goin to copy it and hang it on my refrigerator to remind me from now on when the "enemy comes in like a flood" God is always there, even if He's "Standing Somewhere in the Shadows" He's always there.
