A Father's Love Letter

When clearing some old records, I stumbled upon this in a file and thought it nice enough to share:

My Child,

You may not know me, but I know everything about you. (Ps 139:1)  I know every time you sit down and get up. (Ps 139:2)  I know your personality. (Ps 139:3)  I know how many hairs you have on your head.  (Mt 10:29-31)  You were made in my image.  (Gen 1:27)  You have your life through me.  (Acts 17:28)  You are my offspring. (Acts 17:28) I picked you out when I planned all of creation. (Eph 1:11-12)    I knew you before you were conceived. (Jer 1:4-5)  I created you in your mother's womb (Ps 139:13), and called you out the moment of your birth. (Ps 71:6)     I deliberately made you just as you are. (Ps 139:15-16)  I know what will happen in your life before it happens. (Ps 139:15-16)   I determined the exact time of your birth and where you would live. (Acts 17:26)  You are wonderful. (Ps 139:14) 

I have been misrepresented by those who don't know me. (Jn 8:41-44)  I am very near and the complete expression of love toward you. (1Jn 4:16)  I want to lavish my love on you (1Jn 3:1), just because you are my child and I am you Father. (1Jn 3:1)  I offer you more than any earthly father ever could. (Mt 7:11)  I am the perfect Father. (Mt 5:48)  Every good gift that you receive, comes from me. (Jms 1:17)  I provide for you all your needs. (Mt 6:31-33)  

I have great hope for your future (Jer 29:11), because my love for you is forever. (Jer 31:3)  I am constantly thinking of you. (Ps 139:17-18)  You make me want to sing. (Zeph 3:17)  I will never stop doing good for you. (Jer 32:40)  You are my treasured possession. (Ex 19:5)  With all my heart and soul, I want to see you secure. (Jer 32:41)  I want to show you miracles. (Jer 33:3)

I am the Father who comforts you when you are in trouble. (2Cor 1:3-4)  When your heart is broken, I am close. (Ps 34:18)  I carry you close to my heart, like a shepherd with a lamb. (Isa 40:11)  I will wipe away all your tears and you will never know sorrow again. (Rev 21:3-4)  I will not let you remember any of the pain you suffered in this life. (Rev 21:4) 


I am your Father and I love you as mush as my first born son, Jesus. (Jn 17:23)  I showed my love for you through Jesus. (Jn 17:26)  He is just like me. (Heb 1:3)  He came to show I am always for you and never against you (Ro 8:31), and to tell you that I do not know anything you do wrong. (2Cor 5:18-19)  Jesus died so that you and I could come to understanding. (2Cor 5:18-19)  I sent Him to die for you as my ultimate expression of love for you. (1Jn 4:10)  I gave what I loved so I might gain your love. (Ro 8:32)  

To find me, just look for me. (Deut 4:29)  Be happy with me and I will give you everything you want. (Ps 37:4)  I gave you those desires. (Phpns 2:13)  I am capable of doing more for you than you can imagine. (Eph 3:20)  I encourage you more than anyone else. (2Thes 2:16-17) 

If you receive the gift of Jesus, you receive me (!Jn 2:23),  and nothing will ever separate you from my love again. (Ro 8:38-39)  

Come home and I will throw the biggest party heaven has ever seen. (Lk 15:7)  I have always been Father and will always be Father. (Eph 3:14-15)  
I am waiting for you. (Lk 15:11-32)

                                              Love,
                                              Your Dad
