My Father's Love Letter
My 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 ). I even number the very hairs on your head ( Matthew 10:29-31 ), for you were made in my image ( Genesis 1:27 ).
In me you live and move and have your being, 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 ). I determined the exact time of your birth and where you would live ( Acts 17:26 ). You are fearfully and wonderfully made ( Psalm 139:1 4). I knit you together in your mother's womb. ( Psalm 139:1 3) 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 ), but I am not distant and angry. I 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 toward you are as countless as the sand on the seashore ( Psalm 139:1 7-18) and I rejoice over you with singing ( Zephaniah 3:17 ).
I will never stop doing good things for 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 marvelous things ( Jeremiah 33:3 ).
If you seek for 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 gave 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 brokenhearted, 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'll 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 ( 2 Corinthians 5:18-19 ).
Jesus died so that you could be reconciled to me( 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 8:31 -32). If you receive the gift of my son Jesus, you receive me ( 1 John 2:23 ) and nothing will ever separate you from my love again ( Romans 8:38-39 ).
Come home and I'll 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 this: "Will you be my child?" ( John 1:12-13 ). I am waiting for you ( Luke 15:11-32 ).
Love, Abba, Father and My beloved Son, Jesus Christ.
