Letter Thirty-Four

August 30, 2020

THIRTY-FOUR

Dear Child:

You are my child.  I cherish you.  I value you.

I have put within you all kinds of talents and abilities.  You have barely scraped the surface of all that you could be.  It’s all inside of you, and you own it free and clear. 

Every inclination, every longing, every desire, and every spurt of an idea that you have or have ever had is a part of you because of the way I put you together.  I want to help you turn those possibilities into viable ideas to better mankind.

It’s been that way from the beginning. 

Lean in and let me whisper in your ear. 

I love you!

Got that?

I love you.  You are a masterpiece on the verge of greatness.

When I see you, I see a future with hope. 

I am already so proud of you.

Your loving God!

Letter Thirty-Three from God

THIRTY-THREE

My Dear Child:

 

I want to correct a misconception some people have about me.  I have been painted by some as being severe and harsh.  Some people fear me so much that they think I am unapproachable. 

 

That breaks my heart.

 

My one wish for you is that you would come near.  Crawl up into my strong arms and share your hopes and dreams, your angst and disappointments.

 

One of my key messages to mankind is this: “Come unto me, all who are weary and heavy hearted.  I will give you an unbelievable rest.”

 

My house is big and my rooms are large.  I have plenty of room for you. 

 

Don’t stay outside.  Come on in the house.

 

Pull up a chair by the fireplace.

 

Come to Papa.

Letter Thirty-Two from God

THIRTY-TWO

My Dear Child:

You hear it often – just have faith. 

I’m all about faith, for I am faithful.

If you believe in me, it is because of faith.  You can’t see me.  You can’t touch me.  You can feel my presence, and that is because of your faith. 

Occasionally I will ask someone to take a certain action with no guarantee or promise of what the outcome will be.  All I promise is that I’ll be with them through the experience.

Remember this … faith doesn’t come with a guarantee. 

That’s it. 

I do promise to always be by your side. 

Faith like that has started grand enterprises.  It has launched massive good works around this world, and countless lives have been changed for the greater good of mankind. 

Need a guarantee?

I’ll be with you.

That is enough.

Letter Thirty-One from God

THIRTY-ONE

Dear Child:

Do you think I created you just to watch you struggle?  I don’t play those kinds of games.  My ultimate goal for you is to bring you to my house. 

Here’s the thing.  I’m more interested in finding ways to bring you home to me than for ways to keep you out.

I don’t have a lot of house rules.  I just want you with me, forever.

I’ll always offer you a helping hand and a listening ear.  I’ll never put you down, make life complicated, and I certainly won’t leave you where I found you. 

I want to bring you home with me. 

Do you want to come to my house … forever?

God.

Letter Thirty ~ from God

LETTER THIRTY

Dear Child:

I can read your thoughts.  You fear that you’ve changed and that I may be mad at you.  Let me tell you about some others who have changed down through the ages.

David was one of my choice ones.  He was striking actually.  I destined him for a royal position.

He served me well for a time.  But then lust got in his way.  He looked at a beautiful woman and turned his heart from me.  He even had her husband killed so he could have her all to himself.  But he came back around.  He changed.

Seems he was in a constant state of changing; song writer, king, failure, murderer, and then back to my arms of love and forgiveness. 

Here’s another one for you:  Peter.  He was strong; a man’s man some might say.  Peter would fight at the drop of a hat.  He would proudly boast of what he intended to do and usually follow through.  On most days, he was proud to know me, but one day he turned on me.  He denied that he even knew me.  He said, “I never knew this man.”  He betrayed me.

And he changed.  He came back and became one of my strongest promoters. 

You see, people do change. 

Regardless of what you’ve done, do you see that my love and grace is reaching out to you?

I am your God, and I will love you through all the seasons of your life.

LETTER TWENTY-NINE ~ from GOD

Dear Child:

Let’s talk. 

Some people just can’t wrap their minds around the idea of having a personal relationship with God? 

Are you that way?

Give me a chance?  I’m not as fierce as others have made me out to be.  Oh, there have been times when I’ve demonstrated against some issues, but if you read carefully, a lot of those times have been against people who said they represented me, yet they were so far off base that I had to take a rather stern approach.

What I am is this …

I’m personal

I’m intimate

I’m all-present

I’m all-knowing

I am your God and I want a personal relationship with just you.  I want intimacy with you,

Come to me.

I am your God.

God and Life in These Days

God and Life in These Days

I don’t like much of what is happening in our world today. 

On my bad days, I am prone to flail my arms, curse, get mad or angry, and want to cut people off from my social media feeds.

And sometimes, on these bad days, I tend to forget where God stands in all of this.  Do you relate?

Well, this morning, here is what my spirit is sensing that God is say to all of us. Perhaps you, also, can gain a new footing and a good word of encouragement.

God is saying this …

Isaiah 41:10

Do not fear, for I am with you;

Do not be dismayed, for I am your God;

I will strengthen you and help you,

I will hold you up with my righteous right hand.

Isaiah 41:1-2
“Do not fear; I have redeemed you;
I have called you by name; you are mine.
2 When you pass through the waters,
I will be with you;
and when you pass through the rivers,
they will not sweep over you.
When you walk through the fire,
you will not be burned;
the flames will not set you on fire.

Hebrews 13:5

I will never leave you … I will never forsake you.

Psalm 121:2-4

My help comes from the Lord,

The one who made heaven and earth.

He will not let your foot be moved;

He who watches over you will never

Slumber. He who keeps Israel

never slumbers nor sleeps.

Isaiah 59:1

Be aware, the Lord’s reach is not short,

that he cannot save; nor is His ear

closed to your cries and concerns.

Joshua 1:9

Be strong and courageous;

Do not fear nor be dismayed,

For the Lord your God is with you

Wherever you go.

My friend, hold fast to the promises of God. 

A final word:  In 2 Corinthians 12:9 we read this … “God’s power shows up best in weak people.”  Max Lucado says “God might be looking more for empty vessels than for strong muscles.”

Letter Twenty-Eight from God

TWENTY-EIGHT

Dear Child:

I know the thoughts you think. You constantly compare yourself to others and I hear your chatter.

“I’m not good enough” you say. 

I’m not pretty enough.

I’m not rich enough.

I don’t live in the right neighborhood.

I don’t wear the right clothes.

I don’t have a large enough bank account.

You are enough.  You know enough. 

The world has a different agenda from my agenda.  I see you through eyes of pure love.  I made you.  I created every gene, DNA speck and every molecule in your body.  I made you perfectly. 

I am your source, your supply, your strength, and your protector. 

I am your forgiver. 

I am your best friend. 

I know you best and love you most. 

I AM!

I’ll never leave you.

You will never fall without my eyes seeing you.  I am with you in your fall.

Even now, I’m reaching out to you.

When you see others, you only see the surface.  You can’t see what I see.  They have aches, pains, and disappointments.  They may appear to look good.  They may appear to have to have it all together, and sometimes they do. 

I delight in who you are with your looks, your uniqueness and your skill set. 

Rest in who you are.  Rest in the fact that you are enough. 

Remember, I don’t make junk.

Loving you today.

God

The Way I See God

The Way I See God

As I think about God, I picture him exactly like this sign that was posted on St. Clements Church, Leigh-on-the-sea, in Essex, England. It captures the heart and the grace of God for all mankind.

“We extend a special welcome to those who are single, married, divorced, widowed, gay, confused, filthy rich, comfortable, or dirt poor.

We extend a special welcome to those who are crying new-borns, skinny as a rake or could afford to lose a few pounds.

You’re welcome if you are Old Leigh, New Leigh, Not Leigh, or just passing by.

We welcome you if you can sing like Pavarotti or can’t carry a note in a bucket.

You’re welcome here if you’re ‘just browsing,’ just woke up or just got out of prison. We don’t care if you’re more Christian than the Archbishop of Canterbury, or haven’t been in church since little Jack’s christening.

We extend a special welcome to those who are over 60 but not grown up yet, and to teenagers who are growing up too fast. We welcome keep-fit mums, football dads, starving artists, tree-huggers, latte-sippers, vegetarians, junk-food eaters.

We welcome those who are in recovery or still addicted. We welcome you if you’re having problems or you’re down in the dumps or if you don’t like ‘organized religion.’ We’ve been there too!

If you blew all your money on the horses, you’re welcome here. We offer a welcome to those who think the earth is flat, ‘work too hard,’ don’t work, can’t spell, or because grandma is in town and wanted to go to church.

We welcome those who are inked, pierced or both. We offer a special welcome to those who could use a prayer right now, had religion shoved down your throat as a kid or got lost on the London Road and wound up here by mistake. We welcome tourists, seekers and doubters, bleeding hearts… and you!”

Did you read this as if from God? Go back and picture God saying these things to you. It might just blow your mind.

Letter Twenty~Seven from God

TWENTY-SEVEN

My Dear Child:

I know you.

I know your name.

I know your strengths.

I know your weaknesses.

I have even counted the hairs on your head.  That is how much I love you. 

I have my eyes on you.  I note your failures, your disasters, your joys and your successes.

I know your name.  I have called you by name.  You are known to me. 

See that lady sitting on that curb over there?  She is Crazy Sally.  I know her name too.  She doesn’t look like much to you perhaps, but to me she is a choice individual.  On the day she was born, I said “Yes”, just as I did on the day you were born.

She has made some unfortunate choices, and now she is less than she could be, but she is still mine.  I still know her name. 

It’s the same with you.  Shall we list your mistakes?  I can’t do that, because when you bring them to me, I forgive and forget.  Remember, I remove your past mistakes from you as far as the east is from the west.  That is a promise.

So, let’s concentrate on today.  What is your greatest need?

Letter Twenty~Six From God

TWENTY-SIX

Dear Child:

The world says “Look like this.  Wear these clothes.  Eat our food.  Listen to this music.  Follow our dogma.  Think these thoughts.  

   Do more.  

      Be more.  

         Achieve more.  

           Earn more.  

              Spend more.  

                Work more. 

Is that how you feel?  I grow weary sometimes of how your world has twisted and misinterpreted my principles. 

I want you to focus on just three words.

YOU ARE ENOUGH!

I created you in my image.  I made you with a blueprint for successful living.  I’ve put talents inside of you that are just below the surface and simply require a bit of exploring and discovery.

You are enough. 

You don’t have to wear the latest fashions.

You don’t have to go to the right school.

You don’t have to believe strange doctrines.

You don’t even have to eat sushi if you don’t want to.

I want you to accept that I made you.  I chose you and put qualities that are unique to you to help you succeed.  You have enough to do what your heart longs to do. 

Be you.

You are enough. 

Your Personal God!

Letter Twenty~Five from God

Letter  TWENTY-FIVE

Dear Child:

You are now asleep.  Rest well, for I’m on guard duty.

I watched you today as you struggled against the world.  I saw your frustrations.  I heard the tension in your voice.  I saw you try to make sense of the stuff of life today. 

And now, you’ve finally drifted off to sleep. 

I’m hovering overhead.  If you opened your eyes, you might catch a glimpse of gossamer wings fluttering nearby.  That is my special angel just for you for tonight. 

Rest your troubles with me.  Wrestle not.  Cast them off just as if they were heavy sacks of potatoes that you might plop down on the kitchen counter. 

Lay down your burdens. 

Tomorrow is coming.  There is hope in tomorrow. 

I’ll be there tomorrow, as I was today.  Tomorrow you’ll have a fresh supply of energy, wisdom, and good sense.  And I’ll be by your side.

Sleep soundly, my child. 

Tomorrow you will have the strength and food you need.

I’m in charge tonight.  That is all you need to know.

God,

Letter Twenty-Four ~ From God

TWENTY-FOUR

Dear Child:

Your door is closed tightly.  The windows are shut to keep me out.  I miss you.

I’m out here waiting for you, but I won’t barge into spaces and places where I’m not invited.  I’ll respect your space if that is really what you want.

I want to talk with you.  I have an idea or two to help you through this time in your life. 

But I won’t barge in. 

Have you forgotten some of the things we’ve discussed in days gone by?

I love you.

I’ll watch over you, always.

I’ll be there when you ask for me.

I’ll guide you through the mud and murk.

I’ll give extra strength on the toughest days.

I’ll never leave your nor forsake you.

Take a peek outside.

See my sunshine?

Hear the birds chirping happily?

See that butterfly as it zips passed your window.

I note all things in my creation. 

I made note of you at your first whimper.

I hear your anguish.

I catch your tears.

I’ll whisper in your ear. 

Hear that?  I’m calling your name. 

Open the door to your heart and I’ll come near. 

Every time.

God

LETTER TWENTY-THREE

  

Dear Child:

Your thoughts are on money today.  I know it’s tough making ends meet.

What you want me to say is “I’m sending you a stash of cash and it’s coming soon.”

Yes, sometimes I’ve done that for individuals.  I’ve sent sacks of groceries.  I’ve paid the mortgage anonymously for some. 

But what I want you to hear from me most of all is this;

When the bills mount up ...

When the rent payment is late ...

When you lose your job …

I am still with you.  I still love you.  I always watch over you.

You are resourceful.  You are capable.  There are answers and I’m guiding you to them, even now. 

Don’t despair.  I haven’t abandoned you. 

I’m here.

Together, we can make your future brighter and better.
