Dear Child of Mine,
When I created this world, I looked around at everything I had made and said, "This is very
good!" You are a part of what I have made, so you are a part of what I call "good."
In fact , of all my creation, I'm most proud of you. Why? You were made in My image. You're like
Me.
I put a lot of thought, creativity, and love into making you who you are. I have a plan and a
purpose for your life. Even when you blow it, I still love you. You can make a mistake, but that
doesn't mean you are a mistake. So whenever you fall down, just know that I can pick you up and
start you over. You are "very good!"
Your Loving Creator,
God
I'll Never Give Up on You
For I am convinced that neither death nor life,
neither angels nor demons, neither the present
nor the future, nor any powers, neither height nor depth,
nor anything else in all creation, will be able to separate us
from the love of God that is in Christ Jesus our Lord.
Romans 8:38-39
My Child,
Have you ever thought that your good behavior could make Me love you more, or that your bad behavior could make Me love you less? You're not that powerful.
I already love you 100 percent! Your good behavior won't change that. And no matter how bad you are, I'll never stop loving you. Never! I sent My Son, Jesus, to endure an awful death so that you could be with Me. I chose you and bought you at a great price-the price of My own Son's life.
There's no mistake you can make that will cause Me to say, "That's it! I don't love you anymore!" You may give up on Me, but I'll never give up on you. I love you with a fierce love that knows no end.
Your Faithful Father,
God
Listen to the Song I Wrote About You
The Lord your God is with you, he is mighty to save .
He will take great delight in you,
he will quiet you with his love,
he will rejoice over you with singing.
Zephaniah 3:17
My Child,
Have you ever though about the fact that I like you? I don't just love you in some serious,
religious way. I actually like you.
Have you ever seen a proud, first-time father with his toddler in the grocery store? That kid could
be throwing all of the groceries out of the cart, and the dad's got this look on his face like,
"That's my kid! Isn't he great!"
That's the way I feel about you. I'm showing you off to the angels up here. "Look! See My child!
What a kid!" I sing songs to celebrate your life. You are My favorite, and don't let anybody tell
you otherwise.
Your Biggest Fan,
God
Miracles Are Still My Business
You are the God who performs miracles;
you display your power among the people.
Psalm 77:14
My Child,
Some people are looking for a big show of power from Me. Some think that if they could just see
a miracle or two they'd jump on a bandwagon and believe in Me. Well plenty of people saw Jesus
perform miracles while he was on earth. Some accepted Him, and some didn't. It's all a matter of
what you chose to believe.
You are surrounded by miracles every day. Every time a flower blooms, it's a miracle. Every time a
baby takes its first step, or every time a husband and wife forgive one another, it's a miracle. I
still do inexplicable and wonderful things every day-like multiplying food for the hungry and healing
the sick. So keep your eyes open and choose to believe. Miracles are still My business!
The Miracle-Maker,
God
I Give Good Gifts
Which of you, if his son asks for bread, will give him
a stone? Or if he asks for a fish will give him a snake?
If you, then, though you are evil, know how to give
good gifts to your children, how much more will your
Father in heaven give good gifts to those who ask him!
Matthew 7:9-11
My Child,
Parents aren't perfect, and some of them aren't exactly role models, but they at least have sense enough to feed their kids bread instead of rocks!
But I am the perfect Father. That means every time you want to talk, I want to listen. Every time you want to cry, I want to hold you. Every time you need advice I want to give it. I know you can't see Me, but I am here. I celebrate your victories and grieve your losses. I write songs about you and sing them to you while you sleep. I brag on you to Jesus and the angels. I love you!
I give good gifts, so ask Me for what you need. I will never ignore or hurt you. I am so proud of you!
Your Loving Father,
God
Scars of Remembrance
See, I have engraved you on the palms of
my hands; your walls are ever before me.
Isaiah 49:16
Dear Child,
Did you know My Son, Jesus, has scars on the palms of His hand? He got them hanging on the cross for you, so that you could have a relationship with Me. Jesus can't forget you. Those scars are a constant reminder.
Jesus prays for you 24/7. He doesn't sleep and neither do I. Even if you forget about Me during the day, don't worry; I can't forget about you. You are never forgotten because Jesus is always thinking about you. I love you non-stop.
Your Forever,
God
I'm All You Need
God is my shepherd!
I do not need a thing.
Psalm 23:1
Dear Child,
What if someone offered you anything in the world? What would you ask for? Would it be a fancy new car, a good-looking date, or worldwide fame?
Not many people would say "No thanks. I don't really want anything right now. God's guarding Me and caring for me. That's enough." Well maybe you can't imagine yourself ever saying that, but I want you to get a glimpse of how great it would be to know Me that way - to live without anxiety, simply trusting Me to supply all your needs. It's not impossible, you know.
Knowing and trusting in My provision is the key to contented living. And I want to meet more than your physical needs. I want to give you what your heart yearns for - unconditional, unending love. Let Me be enough for you.
Your Shepherd,
God
Listen to the World Around You
The heavens declare the glory of God;
the skies proclaim the work of his hand.
Psalm 19:1
My Child,
Who do you think paints the sunsets? Do you think they just happen? Who do you think made the deep blue sky and the towering pine trees? Did they just "bang" into existence?
No picture paints itself. No building builds itself. So why would the world be any different? I made the earth and everything in it. Every blade of grass points to Me-the Creator. Every waterfall thunders My signature. Open your eyes and look around you. Creation didn't just happen by chance. I made it all.
And the greatest part of My creation is you. Take time to observe and enjoy the world I made, and before long, you will see My hand in all of it. I am the Author of it all.
The Creator,
God
