Dear Believer in Christ :: By Holly Spate

“But ye are a chosen generation, a royal priesthood, an holy nation, a peculiar people; that ye should shew forth the praises of him who hath called you out of darkness into his marvelous light” (1 Peter 2:9).

Dear Believer in Christ,

I just want to take the time today to encourage you.

I just want to take a moment to lovingly remind you that this life and any troubles you may be having in this life are temporary.

I just want to challenge you to remember that you will get through whatever you’re going through.

And to remind you that it really is all going to be okay.

Dear Believer in Christ,

I just want to let you know you are forever loved. You are important and special. You are beautifully and wonderfully made.

God’s promises are all for you. His unconditional love, grace, and mercy toward you know no bounds and are without end.

If downcast today, if tired from life’s pressures, take a deep breath and lift your head to the skies. Remember: God sees you, loves you, and has a plan for you.

Stand firm and confident in remembering all the truths found in His precious Word. Truths like the encouragement we find in John 10:28, which states, “And I give unto them eternal life, and they shall never perish, neither shall any man pluck them out of my hand.”

Dear Believer in Christ,

Take your eyes off of all of your problems and seek your Father’s face.
Transfer all your burdens and place them firmly in your Father’s hands.

Now, with gratitude in your heart and peace in your soul, begin to praise Him.

Praise Him for the way He loves you.
Praise Him for sending Jesus to rescue you.
Praise Him for freeing you from all sin and shame.
Praise Him for all He’s done for you.
Praise Him for all the promises He has made to you.
Praise Him for all He’s preparing for you.

Dear Believer in Christ,

Remember: No matter what your life or the world around you looks like, never forget that you are His. Not just for today or for tomorrow, but for forever.

You have been given the greatest gift and have been shown the deepest love. You have been lovingly received into His family. You are forever His child, and He is forever your Father.

You never walk alone. He is the very One who holds you close, sees your every tear, and straightens your every path.

He is always with you… cheering for you, directing you, comforting you, loving you.

And as you wait for His return, never forget that He is lovingly preparing a bright and beautiful eternity for you… a destination so breathtaking… so amazing, your mind can’t begin to comprehend. A place of perfection perfectly fashioned by the very One who knows you best.

Be thankful today.
Sing praise today.
Get excited today.

You are cherished by the Creator
Your best life is still to come… what wonderful news!

Dear Believer in Christ,

No matter what trials or tribulations you may be experiencing, no matter how dark and depraved the world is becoming, always remind yourself of the undeniable truth that “this too shall pass,” and He will see you through.

One day, this world will be a distant memory, and you’ll find yourself stepping into the forever peaceful, perfect kingdom your Heavenly Father has prepared for you.

Every day, you’re one day closer…
to the eternal promise,
to going home,
to seeing your Savior, your King, your Redeemer face-to-face.

No more sin, sickness, or sorrow.
No more wondering, wandering, or hoping.
No more suffering, despair, and disappointment.

One day you will be…
walking streets of gold,
free from all worldly distractions and obligations,
fully happy and fully healed,
peacefully sitting at the feet of the Savior.

Dear Believer in Christ,

Rejoice!
