Dear Brother in Christ and Dear Sister in Christ,
With all that’s going on in the world today, I felt it important to pause and take a minute to write this letter of encouragement that God put on my heart. So please, take a moment to find a quiet spot to sit and read. Let this letter be a gift that reminds you how incredibly valuable you are in God’s sight and what a wonderful, perfect, loving God your heavenly Father is. My hope is that you will pass this letter along. As brothers and sisters in Christ, we need to encourage and remind other believers to pause, to praise, and to remember how very much God loves His children. May our hearts share with others the only hope that can be found in this life.
Dear Friend,
From the beginning of time, God knew you, loved you, and had a plan and a purpose for you. God’s love for you is never-ending… always constant… never fading. It is perfect and forever.
He has always been and will forever be fully committed to loving you, watching over you, and leading you. He has loved you since the beginning of time and cares deeply about every detail of your life.
Nothing escapes His attention; nothing catches Him unaware.
He is Omnipresent, Omnipotent, and Omniscient. He is the Alpha and Omega – the beginning and the end – Almighty God!
He is strong. He is powerful. He is perfect.
He is love. He is peace. He is joy. He is good.
He is the Creator of all!
Never believe the lie that He is far from you. He is always with you.
Never believe the lie that He doesn’t care. He sees you, knows you, and deeply loves and cares about every aspect… every little detail of your life… every minute and moment… past, present, and future.
You are His child, and He loves you beyond measure, beyond comprehension. His love is greater than all the love in the whole world. Nothing compares to Him.
He is ever and always aware of your needs, your desires, your fears, your frustrations, your mistakes, your hopes, and your dreams. He is ever aware of your circumstances, disappointments, triumphs, and trials. He has seen your tears and heard your cries. He has celebrated your triumphs, been there to comfort you in your trials, and guided your steps. He has never ever missed a moment, not a minute or a second, of your life. He has never left you, never forgotten you, never abandoned you.
He is perfect and perfectly capable of holding your life, your entire life, in His hands.
His great love and great mercy compelled Him to send His one and only Son so that YOU could be forgiven, rescued, saved. His love provided you a clear path… a beautiful bridge back to Him. The price was paid for YOU. Blood was shed for YOU. Rescue came for YOU.
A gift so precious, so selfless, that none other could ever compare. The ultimate gift of sacrifice and love was paid. Your debt… your entire debt – past, present, and future – was paid in full. Because of what He did, you are freed. Because of what He did, you have hope and an eternal future awaiting you… an inheritance incomparable to any other… precious beyond imagination… beautiful and forever bright.
He knows you.
He sees you.
He cares about you.
He loves you.
His desire is that you confidently place your full trust in Him, allowing yourself to find rest, rejuvenation, peace, and joy. His desire is that you fully embrace Him with your heart, soul, and mind. His desire is that you do not live in regret but embrace His forgiveness for past sins and mistakes, all of which He’s forgiven as far as the east is from the west. His desire is that you embrace joy no matter your circumstance and to not live in fear no matter what is happening around you.
Be strengthened in remembering that He is Almighty and is in complete control. He has always been on the throne. He will always be on the throne. He has never left, nor will He ever leave the throne.
He is more powerful than anything or anyone.
He is God.
He is over all.
He created you and knows what is best for you, even when you can’t see His plans or understand His ways, all of which are perfect because He is perfect.
Rejoice! He loves you perfectly and completely. You are His!
His arms are always wide open… always available to comfort you, to allow you to peacefully rest, really rest in Him. He is your Father, and He loves you beyond imagination.
Run to Him.
Stay close to Him.
Cry out to Him.
Draw near to Him.
You are beautiful in His sight. You are precious in His sight.
You are His creation, fashioned and formed.
Trust Him.
Thank Him.
Praise Him.
And, as you go about your day, as you journey in your life, confidently take this truth with you:
Because He lives, you can face tomorrow, my friend.
Because He lives, you can face anything.
Have a blessed and beautiful day!
