"GOD'S LOVE LETTER"
YOU MAY NOT KNOW ME, BUT I KNOW
EVERYTHING ABOUT YOU . . .
(Psalms 139:1 NKJV) "O LORD, You
have searched me and known me."
I KNOW WHEN YOU SIT DOWN AND WHEN YOU
RISE UP . . .
(Psalms 139:2 NKJV) "You know my
sitting down and my rising up; You understand my thought afar off."
I AM FAMILIAR WITH ALL YOUR WAYS . . .
(Psalms 139:3 NKJV) "You
comprehend my path and my lying down, And are acquainted with all my ways."
EVEN THE VERY HAIRS ON YOUR HEAD ARE
NUMBERED . . .
(Matthew 10:29-31 NKJV) "'Are not
two sparrows sold for a copper coin? And not one of them falls to the ground
apart from your Father's will. But the very hairs of your head are all numbered.
Do not fear therefore; you are of more value than many sparrows.'"
FOR YOU WERE MADE IN MY IMAGE . . .
(Genesis 1:27 NKJV) "So God
created man in His own image; in the image of God He created him; male and
female He created them."
IN ME YOU LIVE AND MOVE AND HAVE YOUR
BEING . . .
(Acts 17:2a8 NKJV) "'for in Him we
live and move and have our being . . .'"
FOR YOU ARE MY OFFSPRING . . . .
(Acts 17:2b8 NKJV) "'. . . as also
some of your own poets have said, 'For we are also His offspring.'"
I KNEW YOU EVEN BEFORE YOU WERE
CONCEIVED . . .
(Jeremiah 1:4-5 NKJV) "Then the
word of the LORD came to me, saying: 'Before I formed you in the womb I knew
you; Before you were born I sanctified you; I ordained you a prophet to the
nations.'"
I CHOSE YOU WHEN I PLANNED CREATION . .
.
(Ephesians 1:11-12 NKJV) "In Him
also we have obtained an inheritance, being predestined according to the purpose
of Him who works all things according to the counsel of His will, that we who
first trusted in Christ should be to the praise of His glory."
YOU WERE NOT A MISTAKE, FOR ALL YOUR
DAYS ARE WRITTEN IN MY BOOK . . .
(Psalms 139:15-16 NKJV) "My frame
was not hidden from You, When I was made in secret, And skillfully wrought in
the lowest parts of the earth. Your eyes saw my substance, being yet unformed.
And in Your book they all were written, The days fashioned for me, When as yet
there were none of them."
I DETERMINED THE EXACT TIME OF YOUR
BIRTH AND WHERE YOU WOULD LIVE . . .
(Acts 17:26 NIV) "From one man he
made every nation of men, that they should inhabit the whole earth; and he
determined the times set for them and the exact places where they should
live."
YOU ARE FEARFULLY AND WONDERFULLY MADE
. . .
(Psalms 139:14 NKJV) "I will
praise You, for I am fearfully and wonderfully made; Marvelous are Your works,
And that my soul knows very well."
I KNIT YOU TOGETHER IN YOUR MOTHER'S
WOMB . . .
(Psalms 139:13 NKJV) "For You
formed my inward parts; You covered me in my mother's womb."
AND BROUGHT YOU FORTH ON THE DAY YOU
WERE BORN . . .
(Psalms 71:6 NIV) "From birth I
have relied on you; you brought me forth from my mother's womb. I will ever
praise you."
I HAVE BEEN MISREPRESENTED BY THOSE WHO
DON'T KNOW ME . . .
(John 8:41-44 NIV) "You are doing
the things your own father does." "We are not illegitimate
children," they protested. "The only Father we have is God
himself." Jesus said to them, "If God were your Father, you would love
me, for I came from God and now am here. I have not come on my own; but he sent
me. Why is my language not clear to you? Because you are unable to hear what I
say. You belong to your father, the devil, and you want to carry out your
father's desire. He was a murderer from the beginning, not holding to the truth,
for there is no truth in him. When he lies, he speaks his native language, for
he is a liar and the father of lies."
I AM NOT DISTANT AND ANGRY, BUT AM THE
COMPLETE EXPRESSION OF LOVE..
(1 John 4:16 NASB) "And we have
come to know and have believed the love which God has for us. God is love, and
the one who abides in love abides in God, and God abides in him."
AND IT IS MY DESIRE TO LAVISH MY LOVE
ON YOU SIMPLY BECAUSE YOU ARE MY CHILD AND I AM YOUR FATHER . . .
(1 John 3:1 NKJV) "Behold what
manner of love the Father has bestowed on us, that we should be called children
of God! Therefore the world does not know us, because it did not know Him."
I OFFER YOU MORE THAN YOUR EARTHLY
FATHER EVER COULD . . .
(Matthew 7:11 NIV) "If you, then,
though you are evil, know how to give good gifts to your children, how much more
will your Father in heaven give good gifts to those who ask him!'"
FOR I AM THE PERFECT FATHER . . .
(Matthew 5:48 NKJV) "'Therefore
you shall be perfect, just as your Father in heaven is perfect.'"
EVERY GOOD GIFT THAT YOU RECEIVE COMES
FROM MY HAND . . .
(James 1:17 NIV) "Every good and
perfect gift is from above, coming down from the Father of the heavenly lights,
who does not change like shifting shadows."
FOR I AM YOUR PROVIDER AND I MEET ALL
YOUR NEEDS . . .
(Matthew 6:31-33 NIV) "So do not
worry, saying, 'What shall we eat?' or 'What shall we drink?' or 'What shall we
wear?' For the pagans run after all these things, and your heavenly Father knows
that you need them. But seek first his kingdom and his righteousness, and all
these things will be given to you as well."
MY PLAN FOR YOUR FUTURE HAS ALWAYS BEEN
FILLED WITH HOPE . . .
(Jeremiah 29:11 NIV) "'For I know
the plans I have for you,' declares the LORD, 'plans to prosper you and not to
harm you, plans to give you hope and a future.'"
BECAUSE I LOVE YOU WITH AN EVERLASTING
LOVE . . .
(Jeremiah 31:3 NIV) "The LORD
appeared to us in the past, saying: 'I have loved you with an everlasting love;
I have drawn you with loving-kindness.'"
MY THOUGHTS TOWARDS YOU ARE COUNTLESS
AS THE SAND ON THE SEASHORE . . .
(Psalms 139:17-18 NIV) "How
precious to me are your thoughts, O God! How vast is the sum of them! Were I to
count them, they would outnumber the grains of sand. When I awake, I am still
with you."
AND I REJOICE OVER YOU WITH SINGING . .
.
(Zephaniah 3:17 NKJV) "The LORD
your God in your midst, The Mighty One, will save; He will rejoice over you with
gladness, He will quiet you with His love, He will rejoice over you with
singing.""
I WILL NEVER STOP DOING GOOD TO YOU . .
.
(Jeremiah 32:40 NKJV) "'And I will
make an everlasting covenant with them, that I will not turn away from doing
them good; but I will put My fear in their hearts so that they will not depart
from Me.'"
FOR YOU ARE MY TREASURED POSSESSION . .
.
(Exodus 19:5 NKJV) "'Now
therefore, if you will indeed obey My voice and keep My covenant, then you shall
be a special treasure to Me above all people; for all the earth is Mine."
I DESIRE TO ESTABLISH YOU WITH ALL MY
HEART AND ALL MY SOUL . . .
(Jeremiah 32:41 NKJV) "'Yes, I
will rejoice over them to do them good, and I will assuredly plant them in this
land, with all My heart and with all My soul.'"
AND I WANT TO SHOW YOU GREAT AND
MARVELOUS THINGS . . .
(Jeremiah 33:3 NKJV) "'Call to Me,
and I will answer you, and show you great and mighty things, which you do not
know.'"
IF YOU SEEK ME WITH ALL YOUR HEART, YOU
WILL FIND ME . . .
(Deuteronomy 4:29 NKJV) "'But from
there you will seek the LORD your God, and you will find Him if you seek Him
with all your heart and with all your soul.'"
DELIGHT IN ME AND I WILL GIVE YOU THE
DESIRES OF YOUR HEART . . .
(Psalms 37:4 NKJV) "Delight
yourself also in the LORD, And He shall give you the desires of your
heart."
FOR IT IS I WHO GAVE YOU THOSE DESIRES
. . .
(Philippians 2:13 NASB) "for it is
God who is at work in you, both to will and to work for His good pleasure."
I AM ABLE TO DO MORE FOR YOU THAN YOU
COULD POSSIBLY IMAGINE . . .
(Ephesians 3:20 NIV) "Now to him
who is able to do immeasurably more than all we ask or imagine, according to his
power that is at work within us,"
FOR I AM YOUR GREATEST ENCOURAGER . . .
(2 Thessalonians 2:16-17 NASB)
"Now may our Lord Jesus Christ Himself and God our Father, who has loved us
and given us eternal comfort and good hope by grace, comfort and strengthen your
hearts in every good work and word."
I AM ALSO THE FATHER WHO COMFORTS YOU
IN ALL YOUR TROUBLES . . .
(2 Corinthians 1:3-4 NIV) "Praise
be to the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, the Father of compassion and
the God of all comfort, who comforts us in all our troubles, so that we can
comfort those in any trouble with the comfort we ourselves have received from
God."
WHEN YOU ARE BROKENHEARTED, I AM CLOSE
TO YOU . . .
(Psalms 34:18 NASB) "The LORD is
near to the brokenhearted, And saves those who are crushed in spirit."
AS A SHEPHERD CARRIES A LAMB, I HAVE
CARRIED YOU CLOSE YOU MY HEART
(Isaiah 40:11 NIV) "He tends his
flock like a shepherd: He gathers the lambs in his arms and carries them close
to his heart; he gently leads those that have young."
ONE DAY I WILL WIPE AWAY EVERY TEAR
FROM YOUR EYES AND WILL TAKE AWAY ALL THE PAIN YOU HAVE SUFFERED ON THIS EARTH .
. . .
(Revelation 21:3-4 NIV) "And I
heard a loud voice from the throne saying, "Now the dwelling of God is with
men, and he will live with them. They will be his people, and God himself will
be with them and be their God. He will wipe every tear from their eyes. There
will be no more death or mourning or crying or pain, for the old order of things
has passed away.""
I AM YOUR FATHER, AND I LOVE YOU EVEN
AS I LOVE MY SON, JESUS . . .
(John 17:23 NKJV) "'I in them, and
You in Me; that they may be made perfect in one, and that the world may know
that You have sent Me, and have loved them as You have loved Me.'"
FOR IN JESUS, MY LOVE FOR YOU IS
REVEALED . . .
(John 17:26 NKJV) "'And I have
declared to them Your name, and will declare it, that the love with which You
loved Me may be in them, and I in them.'"
HE IS THE EXACT REPRESENTATION OF MY
BEING . . .
(Hebrews 1:3 NIV) "The Son is the
radiance of God's glory and the exact representation of his being, sustaining
all things by his powerful word. After he had provided purification for sins, he
sat down at the right hand of the Majesty in heaven."
HE CAME TO DEMONSTRATE THAT I AM FOR
YOU, NOT AGAINST YOU . . .
(Romans 8:31 NKJV) "What then
shall we say to these things? If God is for us, who can be against us?"
AND TO TELL YOU THAT I AM NOT COUNTING
YOUR SINS . . .
(2 Corinthians 5:19 NIV) 'that God was
reconciling the world to himself in Christ, not counting men's sins against
them. And he has committed to us the message of reconciliation."
JESUS DIED SO THAT I COULD BE
RECONCILED . . .
(2 Corinthians 5:18-19 NIV) "All
this is from God, who reconciled us to himself through Christ and gave us the
ministry of reconciliation"
HIS DEATH WAS THE ULTIMATE EXPRESSION
OF MY LOVE FOR YOU . . .
(1 John 4:10 NIV) "This is love:
not that we loved God, but that he loved us and sent his Son as an atoning
sacrifice for our sins."
I GAVE UP EVERYTHING I LOVED THAT I
MIGHT GAIN YOUR LOVE . . .
(Romans 8:38-39 NIV) "For I am
convinced that neither death nor life, neither angels nor demons, neither the
present nor the future, nor any powers, neither height nor depth, nor anything
else in all creation, will be able to separate us from the love of God that is
in Christ Jesus our Lord."
COME HOME AND I'LL THROW THE BIGGEST
PARTY HEAVEN HAS EVER SEEN . . .
(Luke 15:7 NASB) "'I tell you that
in the same way, there will be more joy in heaven over one sinner who repents,
than over ninety-nine righteous persons who need no repentance.'"
I HAVE ALWAYS BEEN FATHER, AND WILL
ALWAYS BE FATHER . . .
(Ephesians 3:14 NKJV) "For this
reason I bow my knees to the Father of our Lord Jesus Christ,"
MY QUESTION IS . . . WILL YOU BE MY
CHILD?
(John 1:12 NASB) "But as many as
received Him, to them He gave the right to become children of God, even to those
who believe in His name,"
I AM WAITING FOR YOU . . .
(Luke 15:11-32 NIV) "Jesus
continued: 'There was a man who had two sons. The younger one said to his
father, 'Father, give me my share of the estate.' So he divided his property
between them. Not long after that, the younger son got together all he had, set
off for a distant country and there squandered his wealth in wild living. After
he had spent everything, there was a severe famine in that whole country, and he
began to be in need. So he went and hired himself out to a citizen of that
country, who sent him to his fields to feed pigs. He longed to fill his stomach
with the pods that the pigs were eating, but no one gave him anything. When he
came to his senses, he said, 'How many of my father's hired men have food to
spare, and here I am starving to death! I will set out and go back to my father
and say to him: Father, I have sinned against heaven and against you. I am no
longer worthy to be called your son; make me like one of your hired men.' So he
got up and went to his father. But while he was still a long way off, his father
saw him and was filled with compassion for him; he ran to his son, threw his
arms around him and kissed him. The son said to him, 'Father, I have sinned
against heaven and against you. I am no longer worthy to be called your
son.' But the father said to his servants, 'Quick! Bring the best robe and put
it on him. Put a ring on his finger and sandals on his feet. Bring the fattened
calf and kill it. Let's have a feast and celebrate. For this son of mine was
dead and is alive again; he was lost and is found.' So they began to celebrate.
Meanwhile, the older son was in the field. When he came near the house, he heard
music and dancing. So he called one of the servants and asked him what was going
on. 'Your brother has come,' he replied, 'and your father has killed the
fattened calf because he has him back safe and sound.' The older brother became
angry and refused to go in. So his father went out and pleaded with him. But he
answered his father, 'Look! All these years I've been slaving for you and never
disobeyed your orders. Yet you never gave me even a young goat so I could
celebrate with my friends. But when this son of yours who has squandered your
property with prostitutes comes home, you kill the fattened calf for him!' 'My
son,' the father said, 'you are always with me, and everything I have is yours.
But we had to celebrate and be glad, because this brother of yours was dead and
is alive again; he was lost and is found.'"
