My Child, You may not know me, I know when you sit down and when you rise up. I am familiar with all your ways. Even the very hairs on your head are numbered. For you were made in my image. In me you live and move and have your being. For you are my offspring. I knew you even before you were conceived. I chose you when I planned creation. You were not a mistake, I determined the exact time of your birth You are fearfully and wonderfully made. I knit you together in your mother’s womb. And brought you forth on the day you were born. I have been misrepresented I am not distant and angry, And it is my desire to lavish my love on you. Simply because you are my child I offer you more than your earthly father ever could. For I am the perfect father. Every good gift that you receive comes from my hand. For I am your provider and I meet all your needs. My plan for your future has always been filled with hope. Because I love you with an everlasting love. My thoughts toward you are countless And I rejoice over you with singing. I will never stop doing good to you. For you are my treasured possession. I desire to establish you And I want to show you great and marvelous things. If you seek me with all your heart, Delight in me and I will give you For it is I who gave you those desires. I am able to do more for you For I am your greatest encourager. I am also the Father who comforts you When you are brokenhearted, As a shepherd carries a lamb, One day I will wipe away And I’ll take away all the pain I am your Father, and I love you For in Jesus, my love for you is revealed. He is the exact representation of my being. He came to demonstrate that I am for you, And to tell you that I am not counting your sins. Jesus died so that you and I could be reconciled. His death was the ultimate expression I gave up everything I loved If you receive the gift of my son Jesus, And nothing will ever separate you Come home and I’ll throw the biggest party I have always been Father, My question is… I am waiting for you.
