You may not know me, but I know everything about you (Ps 139:1). I know when you sit down and when you rise up (Ps 139:2). I am familiar with all your ways (Ps 139:3), even the very hairs on your head are numbered (Matt. 10:29-31). For you were made in MY image (Gen 1:27). In ME you live and move and have your being (Acts 17:28), for you are MY offspring (Acts 17:28). I knew you even before you were conceived (Jer. 1:4-5). I chose you when I planned creation (Eph 1:11-12). You were not a mistake, for all your days were written in my book (Ps 139:15-16). I determined the exact time of your birth and where you would live (Acts 17:26). You are fearfully and wonderfully made (Ps 139:14). I knit you together in your mother's womb (Ps 139:13), and brought you forth on the day you were born (Ps 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 were my child and I am your Father (1 John 3:1). I offer you more than your earthly father ever could (Matt 7:11). For I am the perfect Father (Matt 5:48). Every good gift that you receive comes from my hand (James 1:17), for I AM your provider and I meet ALL your needs (Matt 6:31-33). My plan for your future has always been filled with hope (Jer 29:11) because I love you with an EVERLASTING love (Jer 31:3). My thoughts toward you are countless as the sand on the seashore (Ps 139:17-18) and I rejoice over you with singing (Zeph 3:17). I will NEVER stop doing good to you (Jer 32:40) for you are my treasured possession (Ex 19:5). I desire to establish you with ALL my heart and soul (Jer 32:41) and I want to show you great and marvelous things (Jer 33:3). If you seek me with all you heart, you will find me (Deut 4:29). Delight in me and I will give you the desires of your heart (Ps 37:4) for it is I who gave you those desires (Phil 2:13). I am able to do more for than you could possibly imagine (Eph 3:20) for I am your greatest encourager (2 Thess 2:16-17). I am also the Father who comforts you in all your troubles (2 Cor 1:3-4). when you are brokenhearted, I am close to you (Ps 34:18). As a shepherd carries a lamb, I have carried you close to my heart (Is 40:11). One day I will wipe away ever tear from your eyes (Rev 21:3-4), and I will take away all the pain you have suffered on this earth (Rev 21:3-4). I am your Father, and I love you even as I love my Son, Jesus (John 17:23). For in Jesus, my love for you is revealed (John 17:26). He is the exact representation of my being (Heb 1:3). He came to demonstrate that I am for you, not against you (Rom 8:31), and to tell you that I am not counting your sins (2 Cor 5:18-19). Jesus died so that you and I could be reconciled (2 Cor 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 (Rom 8:31-32). If you receive the gift of my son Jesus, you receive me (1 John 2:23), and NOTHING will ever separate you from my love again (Rom 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 I will always be Father (Eph 3:14-15). My question is, will you be my child (John 1:12-13)? I am waiting for you (Luke 15:11-32).
Love: Your Abba, Almighty God, Dad
