A Letter from Our Father

• Related • Filed Under •

I just wanted to remind you today of how beautiful you are because there is a father of lies who will try to deceive you.

He will try to tell you that you are not good enough,
not attractive enough,
not thin enough,
not strong enough,
not smart enough,
not righteous enough,
and that you are simply unimportant to Me.

He will try to tell you that you have broken one too many promises,
that you have fallen one too many times,
that you have lived one too many lies,
and that you’ve been going in the wrong direction so long that it is pointless to turn back now.

But guess what? YOU DO NOT BELONG TO HIM. HE IS NOT YOUR FATHER. I AM.

You see, you are My creation. My workmanship. You have been borne of My thought, every part of you placed together by My hands. You have My thumbprint upon you. You are a princess, did you know that? You are My child, the child of THE King!

I look at you and see a precious, priceless pearl.
There is no ocean I would not swim, no mountain I would not climb,
no price I would not pay to have you and to be with you and call you my own.
I already have.

I have done all that I could, given all that there is.
I desire to be with you every moment of every day.
How I long for you to talk to Me every day.
My love for you never grows cold.
My promises are never broken (contrary to what he might lead you to believe).
My character never changes.

And you, my daughter have been made in My image.
I love you dearly, unconditionally and completely.
I understand every emotion that you have. I’ve been there.
I count every tear that you cry.
I know every hair on your head.

And do you know what? I even know your weaknesses and your failures and your fears. I know those hidden parts of you that you wish would go away.

Those dark corners of your world that you stuff deep down, praying that no one will ever see. I have already seen them and they will not change my love for you. Nothing will.

I love your heart and I desire all of it.

I just wanted to remind you today of how beautiful you are and how precious you are to Me.

With Unmeasurable Love,

Your Heavenly Father

    Thank you for the wonderful reminder that we are precious to Him. For me as a woman, to understand that my Father loves me so much, even in all of my failures and shortcomings, amazes and humbles me. Thank You Father for Your great love for me and Your sacrifice of Your Son!

    This awesome post made me think of something. My daughter just came out of the terrible threes. For some reason the terrible twos were delayed with her. She was a wonderful two year old. As sweet as can be, and would do nearly everything I asked of her.
    April of 2007 began her third year with cantankerous tempertantrums, refusing to potty train or even go to the bathroom. (No, not even using a diaper. Just dangerously holding everything until drastic measures had to be taken) talking back, writing on the wall for the 10th time, cutting her own hair, subsisting on yogurt, apple sauce, peanut butter, chocolate milk, orange juice and goldfish, refusing to comply with any requests until mom instituted “the choice” option, “Do you want to_______, or do you want a spanking?” Fill in the blank with take a nap, eat, bathe, brush your teeth, pick up your toys, get a hug…… . And that actually worked without me having follow through on the second option. But ohmy, having to say that thirty times a day for the past year…sigh.

    Through all of that I would look at her and smile and think, “you are such a delight to me Rebekah Melanie!” Sometimes I’ll look at her after she’s been such a pain, and sunshine will burst open inside of me, and I wonder is that how God feels about me? I know I can be a pain in the keester. In spite of that does my Father still look at me and receive pleasure just because?
