My beloved child,

It is I the Lord, who created you. I have called you by name you are mine. In my eyes you are precious, honored and I love you.[1]

Before you had the faith to hold my hand I have carved/tatooed your name on the palm of my hand.[2] I planned a long time ago what I desire for your life.[3] Plans made just for you, plans of good and not of evil, to give you hope, to give you a future.[4] Therefore, do not be troubled in your heart. The rivers of life will not overwhelm you; for I will be with you.[5] If you wait I will guide you and you shall not be put to shame.[6] I the Lord your God am beside you, I am your protector. It is I who will give you victory. Never again will you be called forsake, but you shall be called my delight.[7] For you were bought with a price, I have loved you with a everlasting love; therefore I will continue My faithfulness to you.[8]

When you are weak and tired, I will carry you, in your old age I will gently lead you, and when your hair turns gray, I will carry your. I made you and I will bear you.[9] I will never leave you nor forsake you.[10]

Come to Me, give me your weariness and I will give you Me strength and place joy on your face.[11] Give me your song of mourning for a new song of gladness, a new song of praise.[12] My beloved, sing and rejoice for behold your King comes to you, He is triumphant and victorious. He make all things new.[13]

My child, come unto Me, give me your heart. Let your eyes faithful delight in my ways[14] and I will rejoice over you with gladness renew you in my love and give you the crown of everlasting life. [15]

God does not call us to be 'temples' filled with profound insight nor resounding with eloquent speech. he calls us to be 'temples' of his love; temples that live out His messgae of love to a despairing world. Gods' 'love letter' is that message He gives us to live, that all may see and believe that Christ Jesus meets the longings of every heart.

God's love letter is written using paraphrases of Scripture.

1 Isa 43:7, 1,4
2] Isa 49:16
3] Isa 37:26, Rom 5:8
4] Jer 29:11 Rom 6:4
5] Isa 43:2 Jn 14:27
6] Isa 49:23, Jn 14:16
7] Zeph 3:17, Isa 62:4
8] I Cor 6:20, Jer 31:3
9] Isa 46:4
10] Jn 14:18, Heb 13:5
11] Matt 11:28, Neh 8:10
12] Is 61:3, Jn 3:16
13] Zech 9:9, Rev. 21:5
14] Prov 23:26
15] Zeph 3:17, Rev 2:10
