A Letter to God's Beautiful Daughter

To My Beautiful Daughter,

It’s ME, Abba. Your heavenly Father.  I know at times you want to treat our relationship based off of your experiences with your earthly parents, but I want you to choose not to compare me to my image bearers.  Though they were created in my image, they are flawed. Because they are flawed, their love for you is not eternal.  Beloved, understand this though, I utilized your parents to bring forth another one of my own, and that is you.  Though they are imperfect, they were used to bring forth my plan.  I know you have been hurt, I know at times you may feel lost but please remember that you can find refuge in me. The world you live in was broken before you even arrived, but I do not want the brokenness of this world to discourage you, it is not your home.  One day you will sup with me in your eternal home, Heaven (beautiful shore/glory). I have already prepared a place for you. Until that time keep me in your heart, on your mind, and in your soul. Know that you are forever on my mind. Know that I see you, I hear you and I will always keep you. Because the world is broken it may try to break you. Remember that my strength lives inside of you. Although you may break, my grace will reshape you. I will refine you like silver and purify you like gold. I will bring you through the fire, all I ask is that you just trust ME. You are my masterpiece, you are beautiful despite the breaks, the cracks and the smudges. In fact, when I look at you I don’t see the broken pieces I see the whole you, I see the masterpiece that I created. You were created in My image, in My glory, in My splendor. When the enemy tries to show you, the broken pieces tell him to zoom out, to not focus on one tiny detail but that in your wholeness you are my image bearer. If you truly abide in me and I in you when the enemy sees the whole of you, he is terrified so of course he will try to get you to focus on the little pieces, the broken pieces.  But if you can remember who you are in me, then you will be able to overcome his taunts. Remember the world tried to break my son, but only his skin was broken, His body (the inner strength) was never broken. I brought Him through and redeemed him, He did rise again. In the same way I will bring you through, you will rise again. You will not stay where they tried to bury you.  

Repeat after me: “I am who my father says I am”

With a Love Eternal,

 Your Abba Father
