A Letter From God

Something that has been helping me is to write different letters. Today, I decided to write a letter to myself but from the perspective of God writing the letter to me. I based it on things that I have been learning about God and I wanted to share the letter because I thought it might help others.

My dear child,

I want you to know that I have forgiven you. Those parts of your past in which I wept with you and held you, trying to calm you down, I was with you. I was cheering you on, helping you to conquer your fears and doubts about yourself, the world and me.

You questioned me a lot. You asked me if I would forgive you, for both your unintentional and intentional mistakes. You asked me where I was when you were abused and neglected, when evil things invaded your life. You asked me why I allowed you to go through those things. You were angry at me. I understand. In many of those times in your life, you felt like I was absent. Not listening.

But my answer to those questions was, is and always will be…

I have redeemed you.

I have loved you.

I have carried you.

I have mounted you up on eagles’ wings so that you could soar over the storms in your life.

I gave you the strength you needed to fight the battles.

There truly is nothing, no battle too big for me. You see, I created the world and I know your pain. I have seen your pain and I wept with you throughout your painful moments, until we had no more tears to cry. I was angry and upset with you, that you had been so hurt. I was there for you every step of the way. I will never abandon you. You are my precious child.

No matter what the world says, no matter what others around you say or do, always stick to the truth that you have found through me. Always know that you are my precious child and I would never do anything to harm you. I am so sorry you went through all of those things, but I truly strengthened you through those circumstances. I gave you my strength so that you could fight the battles. I gave you courage and wisdom to get to where you are now. I gave you a purpose and meaning for your life, something that nobody except me could give you. I will always comfort you and I hope you know how much I care about you. I know those moments were tough, but I am so proud of how far you have come.

There is nothing too difficult for me. I know you are scared about the future and the unknown but I will help you through everything. Never give up. Keep fighting. Never stop leaning on me for strength. Put your full trust in me because I have carried so many others through difficult circumstances. There is nothing too dark or evil for me to handle. We will get through this and I will help you continue to move forward.

Take my hand and let me lead the way…
