A Love Letter To You

Hey there! It’s me, your Papa up above! I wanted to write you this letter just to kind of talk to you about some things if that’s okay with you :)

So, as time has gone on, I’ve noticed that your “Hello, my name is ___” name tag has a different name on it than the one I gave you. I don’t think I named your soul “the one who isn’t wanted,” “the one who isn’t loved,” or even “the one who isn’t seen.” I most definitely called you mine, worthy, and just enough for me. So if that’s not your name there, whose is it then? Why are you now referring to yourself as ___?

The last time I checked, I think that I was the one who made, formed, fashioned, and designed you.

Depression didn’t.

Suicidal thoughts and actions didn't.

Anxiety didn’t.

Hopelessness didn’t.

Fear didn’t.

Addictions didn't.

And, if if I’m being honest with you, sin most definitely didn't.

But I did.

I had the blueprint to your life, laid out before the existence of the world! I had your story written and finished way long before you were even an embryo in your mother’s womb. I am the one who made you perfect in my sight. After all, I never stop creating and working on something until it’s good and pleasing in my sight. ;)

In my eyes,

you are wanted.

you are loved beyond measure.

you are seen.

you are chosen.

you are more than enough, and I truly delight in having you as my child.

My question for you is that since I made you just the way I wanted you to be, why are you letting others label you? Why are you giving into the lies of those who have not even the power to tell the rain to come down from the sky, let alone tell you, my most beloved creation, who you are? Why are you letting yourself stoop so deep beneath the lies of the enemy that you no longer see yourself the way I made you to be?

My child, I need you to put some white-out on that "Hello, my name is ___” sticker, and then clear away all labels the enemy and world have placed upon you, and replace them with who you really are.

In my eyes,

you ARE wanted,

you ARE loved,

you ARE seen,

you ARE chosen,

you ARE more than enough,

and best of all

YOU ARE MINE!

Anyways, I love you, and can’t wait to see you soon!

With love, your Dad ;)
