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). Even the very hairs on your head are numbered (
Matthew 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 are 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 am the complete expression of love (
1John 4:16). And it is My desire to lavish My love on you (
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 towards you are countless as the sand on the seashore (
Psalm 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. 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 I loved the world so much, that I gave My only begotten Son, that whoever believes in Him, shall not perish, but have external life (
John 3:16). 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. Jesus died so 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).
