A Valentine for You

Dear Beloved:

I Love You: I created you in my image (Genesis 1:27) and I knew you before you were born (Jeremiah 1:5). I have loved you with an everlasting love (Jeremiah 31:3).

You are Mine: I knit you together in your mother’s womb (Psalm 139:13) and know the number of hairs on your head (Matthew 10:30).

I Am Here: I am not a distant or angry God, but the perfect Father (Matthew 5:48) who comforts you in all your troubles (2 Corinthians 1:3-4). When you are brokenhearted, I am close to you (Psalm 34:18).

I Understand Your Struggles: I know when you sit and stand (Psalm 139:2) and I have kept track of all your sorrows, collecting your tears in my bottle (Psalm 56:8).

I Am Your Savior: I sent my Son, Jesus, to take upon himself the punishment you deserved, to make a way for you to be with me (Isaiah 53:5). Nothing can ever separate you from my love (Romans 8:38-39).

Come Home: I am waiting for you with open arms (Luke 15:11-32). My plans for you are filled with hope and a future (Jeremiah 29:11).

Love, Your Dad.
