A note just for you....
While I sat down to do some work this morning, I quickly asked the Lord what was on his heart and immediately I felt Him say 'those who believe they are the 'black sheep', the 'hopeless cases''. So, I am putting ‘pen to paper’ from his heart to yours….
Before the foundation of the earth, I existed. I am before and outside of time and your mind will never grasp nor comprehend my vastness. But YOU….YOU were a desire and delight in my heart that I yearned to see expressed and manifested. So before I laid the foundations of the earth I designed the DNA strand that would unfold and contain the beauty that would be you. From the color of your eyes to your hair type and color, your big beautiful smile, unique voice, your amazing mind and innate talents.
While the enemy comes to steal, kill and destroy, I have come that they might have life and have it to the full and how I long to see you embrace the abundant life I designed for you to live. Because I am love, I don’t enslave you in a choiceless existence. My love sets free and allows you to freely choose me or not. I have wired all humans for connection because they are in my image and I am connected as one (Father, Son, and Holy Spirit). How my heart aches for you to choose me and choose connection to me, the life source and to choose my ways and trust me as a child. Just as I freely give you the power of choice, I have given choice to all humans and sadly, many choose the ways of the evil one, and partner with him in works of selfishness, greed, and destruction. But know this, vengeance is mine and I will repay.
I have seen the abuse, the misuse, the beating down of your self-worth until you felt that you deserved the ill treatment you received. I do not agree. I have paid in full for every wrong you have done, every sin committed that warred against your self and others. I am not counting your sins against you, but rather shed my blood and became your perfection. I removed your sins as far as the east is from the west and will remember it no more. I invite you this day to a whole new world (yes, cue Aladdin), a new fantastic point of view, with new horizons to explore. I invite you into my kingdom and into my family. I invite you to forgive yourself and to forgive the many who have sinned against you.
Allow yourself to embrace your worth as a child of the king, as my beloved, as one I see as a spotless radiant bride made pure by the spotless lamb of God. Break off your agreement with lies that have led you down dark paths of disbelief, distrust, and destruction. It was for FREEDOM that I set you free. It was to see you live a life free to love and be loved, not by the ways the world call love, but in the purity and honor of true love.
I am grossly misrepresented by many who claim to be from me, but who are wolves in sheep's clothing- cloaking themselves as 'Christians' while using the advantage of looking like and talking like a believer to draw near and devour. Nevertheless, I want you to know who I AM. I AM LOVE….I am patient with you, waiting for you with open arms. I am kind, I am for you and not against you. I am not arrogant or rude. I am not self-seeking, but emptied myself and bankrupted heaven through the death of my beloved son to demonstrate your indescribable worth. There is no amount of earthly wealth- even all of it in the world that was equal to your worth.
Just as a crumbled hundred dollar bill is still worth $100, your life, while marred, is still priceless to me. I am not easily angered. I am the way, the truth and the life and no one comes to the Father except through my son. Before the dawn of time, He asked that you would be His, indeed He asked for you ALL to be His….with arms wide open, arms that spread to take your pain and shame, I welcome you into an everlasting embrace and call you home. I am eager to put my robe of righteousness (right standing with the Father) on you that you might be hidden in me, in my perfection and held in arms of love.
You are beloved.
You are chosen.
You are forgiven.
You are loved beyond measure.
You were born for such a time as this.
The best is yet to come.
