Father's Love Letter

My Child,

You may not know me, 
but I know everything about you. 

I know when you sit down and when you rise up. 

I am familiar with all your ways. 

Even the very hairs on your head are numbered. 

For you were made in my image. 

In me you live and move and have your being.

For you are my offspring.

I knew you even before you were conceived. 

I chose you when I planned creation. 

You were not a mistake, 
for all your days are written in my book. 

I determined the exact time of your birth 
and where you would live. 

You are fearfully and wonderfully made. 

I knit you together in your mother's womb. 

And brought you forth on the day you were born. 

I have been misrepresented 
by those who don't know me.

I am not distant and angry, 
but am the complete expression of love. 

And it is my desire to lavish my love on you. 

Simply because you are my child 
and I am your Father. 

I offer you more than your earthly father ever could.

For I am the perfect father. 

Every good gift that you receive comes from my hand. 

For I am your provider and I meet all your needs. 

My plan for your future has always been filled with hope. 

Because I love you with an everlasting love. 

My thoughts toward you are countless 
as the sand on the seashore.

And I rejoice over you with singing. 

I will never stop doing good to you. 

For you are my treasured possession. 

I desire to establish you
with all my heart and all my soul. 

And I want to show you great and marvelous things. 

If you seek me with all your heart, 
you will find me. 

Delight in me and I will give you 
the desires of your heart. 

For it is I who gave you those desires. 

I am able to do more for you 
than you could possibly imagine. 

For I am your greatest encourager. 

I am also the Father who comforts you 
in all your troubles. 

When you are brokenhearted, 
I am close to you. 

As a shepherd carries a lamb, 
I have carried you close to my heart. 

One day I will wipe away 
every tear from your eyes. 
And I'll take away all the pain 
you have suffered on this earth.

I am your Father, and I love you 
even as I love my son, Jesus.

For in Jesus, my love for you is revealed. 

He is the exact representation of my being. 

He came to demonstrate that I am for you, 
not against you. 

And to tell you that I am not counting your sins.

Jesus died so that you and I could be reconciled. 

His death was the ultimate expression 
of my love for you. 

I gave up everything I loved
that I might gain your love. 

If you receive the gift of my son Jesus, 
you receive me. 

And nothing will ever separate you 
from my love again.

Come home and I'll throw the biggest party 
heaven has ever seen.

I have always been Father, 
and will always be Father.

My question is…
Will you be my child? 

I am waiting for you. 

Love, Your Dad
Almighty God

  2. No! I didn't. Wouldn't have had the time. Whoever did look them all up must have had a lot of time on their hands; or they really wanted to get it done! It's great!
