My dear Child,
Perhaps you know little about me, but I have searched you, and I know you. I know when you sit and when you rise; I am familiar with all your ways. (Psalms 139:1-3) And even the very hairs of your head are all numbered. (Matthew 10:30) I created you in my own image. (Genesis 1:27)
For in me you live and move and have your being. You are my offspring. (Acts 17:28) Before I formed you in the womb, I knew you; (Jeremiah 1:5) and before the creation of the world I choose you in me to be holy and blameless in my sight. (Ephesians 1:4)
My eyes saw your unformed body; all the days ordained for you were written in my book. (Psalms 139:16) I marked out your appointed times in history and the boundaries of your lands. (Acts 17:26) You are made fearfully and wonderfully, for I created your inmost being ( Psalms 139:13-14) and brought you forth from your mother’s womb.(Psalms 71:6)
I was misrepresented by people who didn’t know me. (John 8:41-44) I am not cold and angry, I have abundant love for you. Whoever lives in love lives in me, and I in them, for I am love. (1 John 4:16) My love has lavished on you, so you should be called God’s children! (1 John 3:1) The good gifts I give you are much better than people in the world can offer you. (Matthew 7:11) For your heavenly Father is perfect. (Matthew 5:48)
Every good and perfect gift that you receive is coming down from the heavenly Father. (James 1:17) I know what you need, and all these things will be given to you, if you seek first my kingdom and my righteousness. (Matthew 6:32-33) For the plans I have for you are to prosper you and not to harm you, to give you hope and a future. (Jeremiah 29:11) I have loved you with an everlasting love; I have drawn you with unfailing kindness. (Jeremiah 31:3) My thoughts to you are precious and would outnumber the grains of sand. (Psalms 139:17-18) I will take great delight in you; in my love I will rejoice over you with singing. (Zephaniah 3:17) I will never stop doing good to you, (Jeremiah 32:40) because you are my treasured possession. (Exodus 19:5)
Seek me, and you will find me. (Matthew 7:7) Take delight in God, and I will give you the desires of your heart, (Psalms 37:4) for it is God who works in you to will, to act, and to fulfill his good purpose. (Philippians 2:13)
I’m able to do immeasurably more than all you ask or imagine. (Ephesians 3:20) I encourage your hearts and strengthen you, (2 Thessalonians 2:17) as well as comfort you in all your troubles. (2 Corinthians 1:4) When you are brokenhearted, I’m close to you (Psalms 34:18) as you are my lamb in my arms, I carry you close to my heart. (Isaiah 40:11) I will wipe every tear from your eyes, and there will be no more death or sorrow or crying or pain. All these things are gone forever. (Revelation 21:4)
I’m your Father, and I love you as much as I love my Son Jesus whom I sent to the world. (John 17:23) Jesus has revealed me to you and my love for you. (John 17:26)
The Son is the radiance of God’s glory and the exact representation of his being, (Hebrews 1:3) and his first coming is for you, not against you, (Romans 8:31) not counting your sins. (2 Corinthians 5:19) I loved you and sent my Son as an atoning sacrifice for your sins (1 John 4:10) in order to reconcile you to myself through Jesus Christ. (2 Corinthians 5:18)
I did not spare my own Son, but gave him up for you all. (Romans 8:32) Whoever acknowledges the Son has the Father also. (1 John 2:23) Nothing can ever separate you from my love. (Romans 8:38)
Return home to my arms! (Luke 15:20) Let’s have a feast and celebrate. (Luke 15:23) I’m your Father, and will be your Father forever, (1 John 3:1) but are you willing to receive Jesus, believing in his name to become children of God? (John 1:12)
I’m looking forward to your returning home. (Luke 15:20)
Almighty God-the Father who loves you
Amen
