Dear Daughter, From God
Daughter,
I love you. Until the day you die... you'll never really understand how much. But I love you. I will always love you. I always have. I love the things you'd probably never notice... like that freckle on the bottom of your foot or the way you bite your lip when you think. I love watching you. You make me smile. I love the sound of your voice.
I heard your first word. I saw your first step. And I'll see your last. All of creation wasn't enough. There was something missing. You were missing. Nothing and no one that lives or has ever lived can replace you. I love the time you set aside to sit and talk with me. You are my joy. My most precious and valuable possesion.
There is so much I want to give you. So much I want to share with you and Bless you with. There is so much we can reach together.
Be with me
Stay in me
Run with me
Let me embrace you. You are Royal. You are my child. I have clothed you in Royal garments. I paid the price so you could come bodly into my throne room.
When I hear you coming, I run to you. I pick you up and hold you high so that the angels can hear me say,
"She's here! She's mine! She came! Sound the trumpets, bring the banquet, this is my daughter, with who I am well pleased."
I am proud of you. I'm proud when you stand up for Good. But I'm proud when you fall on your face too... You forget sometimes but I'm the first one there. I'm the one who picks you back up. Who smiles re-assuringly and gives you the strength to go on, and to try again.
I am not ashamed of you.
I am never embarassed to call you mine.
I will never abandon you. I will never shame you. You will never enter and empty throne room.
Jealously, I guard you, Beloved. You belond here, in my arms. On my knees. In MY love. Because that's what makes you whole. No-one loves you like I do.
The Heavens feel my rage when your abused. The Heavens feel my anguish when you cry. I know your tears, I know your hurts, I know your loneliness and your pain. I am the Healer. And I'm just waiting for you to bring them to me.
I know your heart. And when life breaks, I can put the pieces back together. You are loved. You are cherished. You belong. You can never make me love you more. I've called you to obedience to keep safe but above all else, more then anything at all, I want this romance, this relationship, this intimacy with you.
You are beautiful.
But you have believed lies, child.
You have believed lies that people in your life have told you.
You are beautiful. Because you are made in MY image. And I am beautiful.
I love you as you are. There are things in your life you may want to change. But you cannot do that without me. I will walk you through those changes. Slowly and lovingly.
You have believed lies Daughter. I will never make you feel guilty. I may convict your heart so that you turn to me, but Guilt and Shame are of the enemy.
I will never SHAME you.
I died so that you would never be shamed again.
I have clothed you in white. I have forgotten and washed away any sin you have ever brought to my feet.
You are holy and sanctified.
Hold your head high. Daughter of the king.
Daddy loves you.
