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 (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). You were not a mistake, for all your plans are written in my book (Psalms 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 (Psalms 139:14), I knit you together in your mother's womb (Psalms 139:13), and brought you forth on the day you were born (Psalms 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 1:11) for I am the perfect Father (Matthew 5:48). Every good gift that you receives 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 sands 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 desired 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 (Psalms 37:4), For it is I who give you those desires (Philippians 2:13).
I am able to do more than you could possibly imagine (Ephesians 3:20), For I am your greatest encourager (2 Thesselonians 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). I am your Father, and I love you even as I love my son, Jesus (John 1:23). 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 can 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 received the gift of my son Jesus, you received me (1 John 2:23), And nothing will ever separate you from my love again (Romans 8:38-39).
Come home and I will 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: 11-12)
Love,
Your Dad
Almighty God
