A Love letter.....

When I was thirteen, I received a sealed and stamped enveloper with MY name on it! I was so excited to have a piece of mail, and I could hardly wait to open it. I raced up to my room and sat down on my bed to read the content inside. These are the words that floated off the page in elegant handwriting........

I bless you, My beautiful daughter. 

I want you to know you are beautiful; 

I made you. 

I mentioned your name at your birth. 

You were in My thoughts before the beginning of time. 

I formed you in  your mother’s womb. 

I chose the color of  your hair, 
your eyes, 
your smile,
 your voice, 
your body shape, 
the way you think, 
the way walk. 

I gave you personality, 
your skills, 
your gifts, 
your passions, 
your ability to love and be loved. 

     I am your Father. 

I love you with an everlasting love.

 I love you --you are mine! 

I am jealous for you and your heart. 

Guard your heart! 

My  eyes never leave you. 

I carry you in My heart. 

I cover you under the shadow of My wing, so you can be covered, feel safe and secure. 

I am your tower of strength; run to Me; Let Me be your refuge. 

I am your comforter. 

Run to My heart. 

I  am the lover of your soul. 

Rest in my love. 

Let Me love you. 

I smile when I watch you laugh. 

I know every tear you've ever cried. 

I've engraved you in the palm of my hand. 

I adore you, My daughter.

       I send angels to watch over you and minister to you. 

You are My princess. 

I crown you with loving kindness and life. 

I always have time for you. 

I will never, ever, no never leave you or let you  down ---NEVER!

        When you feel alone, 
sad, 
angry, 
depressed, 

or empty inside... 

I’m right beside you, loving you and gently holding you. 
You are My beloved treasure, 

My creation, 
Me delight, 
and the fragrance of My heart. 
Come to Me. 
Let Me love you. 

I love you My beautiful child.

    Your Heavenly Father

    God

I knew that my parents had sent this letter to me....but still, for a young girl--who was fighting against what the world was telling me about myself, who I am, how I looked--this was a perfect reminder of who I am in Christ, and how much He loves me.....He loves me just the way that I am! It was perfect timing. And I still have the letter.....it is pinned up on my wall where I can see it, so that I can be reminded on a daily basis that God created me beautiful!

Blessings <3
