Dear Child: Have Your Forgotten?

What a journey it has been since “I knit you together in your mother’s womb.” I’ve watched you grow each day. Sure there were times you wondered how things would work out. Yet, how could you ever deny or forget my faithfulness.

Never once have you had to worry about where you would live, what you would eat, or how your bills would be paid. Even when you thought things were about to fall apart, I always saved the day. I’m the one that holds you together, your marriage, and your family. I’ve always taken care of every detail of your life.

I bet many of your adult mentors wondered how you would become much of anything. After all, you could never sit still and never appeared to be taking anything seriously. Yet, I was using everyone and every circumstance in your life to shape and mold you into the person I created you to be.

Even now, I supply your strength, wisdom, and passion. I’ve done amazing things despite you, around you, and through you. Knowing that I’ve never failed you should compel you to keep trusting my divine plan. Just keep going where I tell you to go and doing what I tell you to do.

Your entire life you’ve tried to figure everything out. Haven’t you realized that my ways are higher and my shoulders are broader. Jump on my back, take up your cross, and continue to follow me. You think you’ve seen it all, but I’ve got even greater things in store for you.

Promise me this my child. That no matter where I lead you’ll never forget. I will always take care of you, always be with you, and never forsake you in your many times of need. Remember to give me all the glory for all the great things I’ve done, I’m doing, and will do.

Love,

Your Heavenly Father Who Loves You More Than Words
