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 your ways (Psalm 139:3), even the very hairs on your head are numbered ( Matt 10:29-31 ). For you were made in my image ( Genesis 1:27 ). In me you live and move and have your being ( Acts 17:28 ), 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 ), You were not a mistake, for all your days are written in my book( Psalm 139:15-16 ). I determined the exact time of your birth and where you would live ( Acts 17:26 ). You were fearfully and wonderfully made ( Psalm 139:14 ), I knit you together in your mother's womb ( Psalm 139:13 ), 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 ) I am not distant and angry, but I am the complete expression of love ( 1 John 4:16 ) and it is my desire to lavish my love on you. ( 1 John 3:1 ) 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 countless as the sand on the seashore ( Psalms 139:17-18 ) And I rejoice over you with singing. ( Zephaniah 3:17 ) I will never stop doing good to 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 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 ( Revelation 21:3-4 ) 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 and I could be reconciled ( 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, will you be my child? ( John 1:12-13 ) I am waiting for you ( Luke 15:11-32 )
Love, Your Dad. Almighty God
