Father, I Am Your Child


Dear Papa God,

There are some things that I need to say to you. I know that you know them, but I need for you to hear them from me...

Father, I am like a child fearful and afraid of that which moves in the darkness of this life to bring me harm until I hear your voice and feel the touch of your hand. It's then that I know that I am not alone. Only then do I feel safe and comforted for my Father's near.

My heart yearns for yours Father. I am left inconsolable, incomplete, and lacking without your presence. I am not to be satisfied by anything but your presence with me for nothing else can fill the void in my heart.

I hunger for the meat of your wisdom and the sweetness of your mercy. I am helpless to feed myself my Lord. But I am fed by your love and your grace and you are faithful to sustain me.

My spirit thirsts in the desert of this barren world and I would wither away to death. But when I think I may perish, you shower me with the living waters of your Holy Spirit to bring me life. And I am suddenly awash in your spirit, joyfully splashing like the child that I am in your presence.

When my flesh is weak and I feel that I can walk no further, you cradle me in your patient love and carry me over the mountains and across the miles until I can walk again

When the weight of this world would crush me and my heart is heavy, you bear the weight of my burden and pick me up to stand again. You give strength to my bones and muscle to my flesh. With your help I can do anything you ask.

When I crave the touch of a hand in mine, it's your hand that I need to hold. The hand of my Father holding mine as we walk together comforts me and reminds me that there is nothing that I can fear and that I am loved beyond measure.

It's your face my Father that I long to see. The countenance of your Spirit brings me peace and makes me whole. There is nothing else that can give me the feeling of safety, joy, love or completeness that I am blessed with as your child.

For all of these things my Father, my Papa God, I am awed, grateful and humbled in your presence. You have my heart forever.

Sincerely,

Your Child

Where Truth Is Found...

"He that cannot forgive others, breaks the bridge over which he himself must pass if he would ever reach heaven; for everyone has need to be forgiven." - George Herbert, British Poet 1593 - 1633 The above is a true statement and one could give credit to George Herbert for his wisdom in that saying, but the truth and wisdom found in those words did not originate with him. They originated with The Author of truth and wisdom - The Judge of the universe... “For if you forgive men their trespasses, your heavenly Father will also forgive you. But if you do not forgive men their trespasses, neither will your Father forgive your trespasses." Matthew 6:14-15 (NKJ) ...Christ Jesus. With deception being a tool of the enemy   and being spread  widely with the help of mankind these days, it's a struggle for some to recognize what the truth really is. It's good for us who follow Christ to remember that whatever we might think or reason with ourselves to be true, our opinion c...

Fear not.

There's a lot going on in the world and a lot available to provoke fear for the future, but I have a question for anyone who might feel themselves tempted to fear - If you truly know God, does He ever change? “I am the LORD, and I do not change. That is why you descendants of Jacob are not already destroyed." Malachi 3:6 (NLT) We stand reinforced in our understanding and belief that He does not change, so... "The LORD says, “I will rescue those who love me.  I will protect those who trust in my name.  When they call on me, I will answer;  I will be with them in trouble.  I will rescue and honor them.  I will reward them with a long life  and give them my salvation.” Psalm 91:14-16 (NLT) I know that I said that I had "a" question, but I actually have another - do you really, truly love Him? “So don’t worry about these things, saying, ‘What will we eat? What will we drink? What will we wear?’ These things dominate the thoughts of unbelievers, but your heave...

God Blesses Those...

"And seeing the multitudes, He went up on a mountain, and when He was seated His disciples came to Him. Then He opened His mouth and taught them, saying:... " Matthew 5:1&2 (NKJ) In the 5th chapter of the book of Matthew, we find Jesus teaching His disciples. What He taught them there is often referred to as the Sermon on the mount. And within that teaching are a number statements that are commonly referred to as The Beatitudes. I humbly suggest that whoever it was that coined that term might have been more accurate and to the point if they had called them  The " BE-  Attitudes" since Jesus was in fact telling His disciples both then and now, about the spirit of how to "be". “Blessed are the poor in spirit,  For theirs is the kingdom of heaven. Blessed are those who mourn,  For they shall be comforted. Blessed are the meek,  For they shall inherit the earth. Blessed are those who hunger and thirst for righteousness,  For they shall be filled. Blessed a...
