Before I shaped you in the womb, I knew all about you. I know when you leave and when you get back. You’re never out of My sight. I know you inside and out. I know every bone in your body. I know exactly how you were made, bit by bit; how you were sculpted from nothing into something. Like an open book, you grew from conception to birth before Me. All the stages of your life were spread out before Me. The days of your life were all prepared before you’d even lived one day.
(Jer.1:5; Ps. 139:3,15,16)
I created you in My own image, to reflect My nature. I paid greater attention to you than to any of My creation, down to the last detail – even numbering the hairs on your head! You are My masterpiece. I have created you anew in Christ Jesus, so that you can do the good things I planned for you long ago. I have lavished a Father’s love upon you, just because you are My child! I want you to clearly know the plans I have for you. My plan is to prosper you; never to harm you, but to give you hope and a future.
(Gen 1:27; Matt. 10:30; Eph. 2:10; 1 John 3:1; Jer 29:11)
Every gift I give you will be good and perfect. I will never change My mind about My desire to help you. If you will simply delight in yourself in Me, I will give you the desires and secret petitions of your heart. Call to Me, and I will always answer you. In fact, I’ll tell you marvelous and wondrous things that you could never figure out on your own. Remember: I can do anything – far more than you could ever imagine or guess or request in your wildest dreams! I do it by working within you. (James 1:17; Ps 37:4; Jer 33:3; Eph 3:20)
If your heart is broken, I’ll be right there. I’ll save you when you are crushed in your spirit. I will care for you like a Shepherd. You are a lamb in my Arms, held close to My heart. I’ll wipe every tear from your eyes. If you ever doubt My love, remember that I loved you so much that I gave the only Son I had, Jesus, to lay down His life, just so you could live with Me forever.
I hope you are absolutely convinced that absolutely nothing – nothing living or dead, angelic or demonic, today or tomorrow, high or low, thinkable or unthinkable – can get between you and My love, because of what Jesus did for you.
(Ps 34:18; Isa 40:11; Rev 21:4; John 3:16; Rom 8:38, 39)
And one day, I look forward to seeing you face to face: tears gone, crying gone, pain gone. Remember that I am coming soon, so keep living by all the words you find in My book. (Rev 21:4, 7)
Dad… Your Father in Heaven
