You’ve Got Mail!
Dear Child,
I am sending this so that you know some things for certain.
I have always loved you… from the endless un-time before the earth first spun on its axis you have been in my heart. The intricate design according to which you were woven in the mysterious semi-dark of your mother’s womb is MY design. Every bit of you was made to mirror me in some way. Your need for the friendship and company of others is like me. Your ability to form ideas and create new things is me all over! Every bit of talent, every speck of brains, every ounce of strength demonstrates that you are my child. I am so proud to be your father.
I know you don’t like it when you encounter something you are not able to do, or that causes you to struggle, but you need to know that I designed you this way. If you had no need or weakness, you would never look my way. Even the one who hates most that you look like me has a job to do that is the result of my love and desire for relationship with you. I wait for you to let me be strong in your weak places. The two of us together are UNSTOPPABLE! And if you could never speak a word or take a step, I would be no less pleased to be your dad.
When you are troubled by circumstances, I will calm you with my love.
When you are rejected by people who are important to you, I will be here with my arms open wide.
When you are confused and frustrated, I am always ready to give you my peace.
And even when you have failed, I rejoice over you, singing a song of pure delight…just because you are mine!
None of this is because you have deserved it. There’s no way you can earn it!
It is simply the truth of my love for you, brought into your experience in response to your tiniest grain of trust in what my First-born has done.
I love you.
Papa-God
