God's Love Letter

Dear (Fill in Your Name Here),
 
Before I formed you in the womb I knew you; Before you were born, I set you apart for My special purposes. (Jeremiah 1:5)
 
You have been upheld by Me from birth. Even to your old age, I am He, and even to gray hairs I will carry you! (Isaiah 46:3,4)
 
I love you so much that I gave My only begotten Son, Jesus, into the world. Not to condemn you, but to save you through His blood. All you need to do is believe in Him. And love everyone as I have loved you. (John 3:16-17; 15:12)
 
Do not be afraid, child. For I am love. And perfect love casts out all fear. I did not call you into the bondage of a spirit of fear. I called you into a spirit of adoption. I am your Abba Father, affectionately known as Daddy. (1 John 4:8,18; Romans 8:15) 
 
I am not like others in this world who prefer evil and darkness to love and light. As long as you remain close to Me, I will never leave you, nor forsake you. I am with you always, to help and to guide you through this life on earth. (Hebrews 13:5; John 16:7)
 
And when your time on this earth is finished, I have a place prepared just for you. A place where there are no more tears, no more pain, and no more death. (John 14:1-4; Revelation 21:4)
 
So come to Me, you who are weary and burdened. In Me you will find rest. I will hide you under My wings, and we will sit beside the still waters. Don't forget to spend time with Me today, for only I know your most inward parts. And only I can save you... (Matthew 11:28-30; Psalm 36:7-9; Psalm 23;  Psalm 51:6; John 14:6)
 
Love, God

    Your devotions are wonderfully inspiring ! I forwarded the latest one to a couple of friends who I pray will be inspired as they are going through hard times.
