“Look with wonder at the depth of the Father’s marvelous love that he has lavished on us! He has called us and made us his very own  beloved  children. The reason the world doesn’t recognize who we are is that they didn’t recognize him. 1John 3:1 (TPT)

Dear heart, these words of promise and life are for you!  You are loved by God the Father as His very own deeply cherished child.  You are safe in the care of Christ Jesus, your passionate Redeemer and Friend.  And the precious Holy Spirit of the living God Himself, is with you always. This is all for you—right now, right where you are, in the midst of everything you are in. 

Good days ahead or bad days behind—it will all be okay.  “Fear not”, He says, for you are covered in His tender care, surrounded by a shield of grace.  Not only does He have you; He has all things concerning you too. The One Who cannot lie, promises it will be so for all mankind, and this is His steadfast and unbreakable promise to you!  

Lean back into His strong and everlasting arms of redeeming love. Rest in Him in this month of rushing—trust and believe—even if you do not see.  It is all coming together just the way it should. Love, acceptance, belonging, hope, healing, and help are already here!  Because He is, in the fullness of His glory, and because you belong to Him.  

Oh, precious one, the depth of His love for you is endless!  There is joy unspeakable in the wonder of who He is and in who He created you to be!
