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?

God

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

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.

Your God Who Always Watches,
