I love you.

Dear Child,

I'm writing this letter to you to tell you about how much I love you. I wish that you could see how I adore you, but your ways are not my ways, and your thoughts are not my thoughts. Because of that, you might get a tiny glimpse of just how much you mean to me, but for as long as you live, you will be discovering every day just how much I think about you and adore you but will never find the bottom of it.

Do you get this? I chose you. No, you aren't qualified, but I don't choose the qualified. Those who are last on this earth will be first in heaven, and those who are first on this earth will be last in heaven. Those people have their worth on earth and although they might seem qualified according to your human standards, they will never measure up to the unwavering faithfulness of you. Why? Because you have chosen to run towards me with all of your might, forsaking the earthly comforts and luxeries. I called you, and you have chosen to come. Don't worry. There will be those of this earth who will call you crazy, will interrogate you spiritually, mentally, and physically. But I will protect you. Nothing will harm you unless I give permission. This faith that you have...this faith can withstand even the gates of hell! Nothing will conquer it and it will be around until the world ends.

You might be asking, "Why me? I'm not worth anything." I'll have you know that I don't care what you have or haven't done. I love you. I can't ever stop loving you at the full capacity that I do. You can't do anything to attract or detract from my love. It bigger than the ocean, higher than the sky, and more perfect than any painting that you've ever seen. I love you so much that I think about specifically you...constantly! More than you have ever thought about any boy or girl or friend in your life. I know your name, it's sweet on my tongue and I love saying it. I sing to you. You might not hear a voice. But listen. Listen. It's in the wind, it's in the waves, it ripples through the trees, it's in the humming ofthe bees and the song of the birds. It flows out the song that you yourself sing. It's all explaining how much I love you. Those songs are meant for you.

I wish that I could explain how much I love you, because I feel that those analogies don't do my love justice. I would do anything for you. I have done everything for you. I gave up my only child to be ruthlessly killed so that I could adopt you into my family. That's the thing with adoption. You can never be turned away after I have chosen you. You can diss me all you want, but you are still Mine. And I'm never letting go.

In this life, you will face tribulations- you probably already have. Just remember, you don't have to go through them yourself. I would never do anything to harm you. The waters will come, but they will not overflow you. You will walk through fire, but you will not be burned. My plans for you have hope, you have a future. It may not be what you envisioned: it'll be far better. I promise. Trust the one who createdthe universe and sees the past, the present and the future. And just remember, I love you. Don't ever forget that.

~God
