Day 16: You Are God's Child


GOD IS

 THE FATHER of ALL.

GOD IS

 THE PERFECT FATHER of ALL.

Who would I be WITHOUT GOD THE FATHER?

I wouldn't be here.

You wouldn't be here.

What if today

 we all took the time to celebrate

OUR FATHER

who art in HEAVEN,

and remember

HIS FAITHFULNESS!

GREAT IS HIS FAITHFULNESS

as

GOD keeps reminding me that

HE has never left me,

even when others have.

GOD keeps reminding me that

HE has always LOVED me,

even when others haven't.

GOD keeps reminding me that

HE has always been FAITHFUL,

even when I haven't been.

I wondered why

 HE has

CHASED me my whole life,

even when I wasn't

CHASING after HIM,

but oh how it is so clear to me~

just so HE could introduce me to

HIS SON

so that

HIS SON

could

HEAL the BROKENNESS in my heart,

that I never saw as BROKENNESS.

Instead,

 I BELIEVED

I was DAMAGED

and

NOT ENOUGH. 

Therefore,

I BELIEVED that

I had to STRIVE to BE BETTER and DO BETTER

in order to be seen as

BETTER,

because if I was

BETTER

then

I would be LOVED like I was LOVING others.

Yet,

BETTER never was BETTER ENOUGH. 

But in my CHASING to be BETTER,

GOD was ALWAYS there,

even when I didn't even know HE was there,

for HE wanted to be THE BETTER. 

Oh

HIS PATIENCE,

as HE waited for me.

Oh HIS FORGIVENESS,

as HE waited for me to RECEIVE it.

Oh HIS COMPASSION.

Oh HIS TENDERNESS.

For on that day

when my race to BE BETTER had become

a never ending CHASING of the wind,

 I had no choice but to finally

BE STILL

and TRUST GOD

with

my LIFE,

because my LIFE

was never "my" LIFE,

as it was HIS from the moment

HE purposely knitted me together in

 my mother's womb.

My first words where a cry

as I entered the world,

as yours where too.

But what I didn't realize was that

GOD was the first one who welcomed me into the world,

to claim me as HIS OWN,

as HIS PRECIOUS POSSESSION, 

and that is true for you too!

HE then PATIENTLY WAITED for the moment when I would finally

embrace the TRUTH that

I am HIS WORKMANSHIP. 

It is so hard to fathom,

when you are in those moments of feeling so

UNLOVED,

that makes you feel as an outcast,

even though you know that GOD LOVES you so,

yet HIS LOVE doesn't FEEL ENOUGH

as you question it

because why wouldn't others

LOVE you too if you were so LOVABLE.

And then it happens.

It is just you and GOD in a room.

And then JESUS walks in.

And THEY want to be with you.

THEY want to hear everything that is on your HEART

and THEY actually LISTEN to every uncensored word.

And you can almost hear a chuckle

from THEM

because they so ADORE you.

And then you become so STILL to RECEIVE THEIR LOVE,

and finally realize that you would be nothing without THEM.

Oh THEY LOVE you so deeply,

that you can't stop going so deep with THEM

to RECEIVE everything that THEY have for you,

that is more than anything that you could have ever imagined.

GOD was there from the very beginning

when HE made the decision to create you.

JESUS was there from the very beginning,

 waiting to RECEIVE you without any condemnation,

just so HE could to pour out

HIS INDESCRIBABLE LOVE

that made HIM DIE

 for you and for me and everyone else.

Is GOD enough when HE is the only one in the room with you?

OH YES!

Is JESUS enough HE is the only one in the room with you?

OH YES!

Thank YOU GOD

and

Thank YOU JESUS.

for never forsaking me,

because all you ever wanted was ALL of me.

YOU have always been forever FAITHFUL,

 even when I wasn't~

 "All my life YOUR have been faithfulAnd all my life YOU have been so, so goodWith every breath that I am able..."

GET READY. GET SET. GO.

HAPPY FATHER'S DAY

to

Our

ABBA FATHER~

"...Oh, I will sing of the

GOODNESS OF GOD"
